Title: Domestic Meters

Abstract: The subject for our portion of this program, is Domestic Meters, and therefore it might well be a good place to start, by defining that segment of the gas measurement field, that we intend to concentrate upon. The generally accepted concept, is that when we use the term Domestic Meter, we are describing those positive displacement gas measuring devices having a capacity of 500 cubic feet per hour or less of 0.64 specific gravity gas, when operating at a differential pressure across the meter of 0.5 (%) water column. We might question the use of some of these parameters as being unrealistic under todays operating conditions. A specific gravity of 0.60 is actually closer to that of the natural gas being measured today and the use of a 0.5 water column differential pressure across the meter can also be considered as arbitrary, however these factors do serve to give us a means of comparison, and to that end, serve their purpose. Having a standard set of conditions as a yard-stick, makes it relatively simple to convert to conditions other than standard.
