Offutt Air Force Base's Fire and Emergency Services seeks to procure and install a non-resettable, calibratable flow meter at its training grounds. This is to address a deficiency in Offutt AFB’s Class II Air Operating Permit, which limits propane combustion to 40,000 gallons per 12-month period for Unit 3-8 and requires a calibrated, non-resettable flow meter on its fuel supply lines. Non-compliance could lead to fines and loss of the Fire Department Aircraft Trainer, severely impacting the base's mission. The required flow meter must be non-resettable, have a totalizer, fit a 2 ½” Schedule 40 pipe, be calibratable, compatible with liquid propane, and rated for hazardous, continual outside use. The scope of work includes installation on the distribution line from the propane tank to the training tower, all necessary electrical hookups, and the contractor providing all tools, materials, equipment, and permits, with a potential site visit.

This document, part of a federal RFP, details technical questions and government responses regarding a flow meter for liquid propane. Key specifications include a 2 1/2" connection size for Schedule 40 piping, Class 1 Division 2 area classification for both the meter and display, and a preference for local mounting. The ideal power supply is 24V DC. While many process data points like flow rate, density, viscosity, pressure, and temperature remain unknown or variable, the government has clarified the straight run between the elbow and flange is approximately 70 inches and the flow direction is from a 10,000-gallon propane tank to a fire department training tower. There is no pump testing, and the only required output signal is a non-resettable totalizer with calibration capability; no electronic output is needed in addition to this. The government also specified a Class 300 rating if flanges are required.
