Located some propane leaks
Decided to make a manometer for fun and wanted to check my propane system pressure and also test for leaks. Did a bunch of research first to do the checks correctly. I did tap the port on the fridge...

What OB said. The national standard is 3 minutes with zero change, some states go to 15 minutes, which is what I always did. Pressure drop test every time the system is opened, and annually.
The thinking behind the three minutes is a leak that small will not result in a flammable concentration of lp. Also keep in mind the electric valves on all of the appliances actually have an "allowable" leak rate, very small, but allowed.
