QuantityWare develops implementations of petroleum and natural gas measurement standards delivered within the BCS solution. QuantityWare purchases the relevant standards from official publishing sources.
Currently our internal standards library consists of over 160 documents. QuantityWare respects the copyright of all standard institutes and does not distribute any of these documents, neither in printed nor electronic form.
We strongly recommend that a customer purchases their own licensed copies of the relevant standard documents to cross check our implementations. See QuantityWare Note 000008 in the Knowledge Base for purchasing information. Comprehensive lists of all measurement standards supported with BCS are also available in the Knowledge Base.
