Abstract: There are many reasons for a gas distribution company to strive for accuracy in gas measurement. The gas meters in service account for most of the revenue which must cover all expenses and leave a fair share of profit. Since gas utilities are regulated by governmental agencies, higher rates are hard to obtain and since expenses continue to rise due to such factors as the rising cost of gas in the field, rising wages, rising cost of materials, etc., accurate methods of measuring and accounting for all gas purchased and sold becomes more important. An accurate meter projects the gas company by preventing undermeasurement and protects the customer by preventing over-measurement. At the same time accurate meters are an aid in keeping unaccounted for gas to a minimum. Generally speaking, the bulk of a gas distribution companys revenue is derived from its domestic and small commercial customers. Gas to these customers must be measured by small capacity meters geared generally to measure gas at 4 ounces gauge pressure. These are the meters which will be covered by this paper.
