Abstract: The advancement of science and technology is generally paced by commercial needs to be filled. Development of gas meters and the means of proving them illustrate the point. The Gas Meter Repair Manual, printed in 1957, states under the section on proving techniques that generally speaking, gas meters which are built today are constructed with more accuracy than we can possibly prove them. That statement is even more true today as improvements during the intervening years have continued in domestic meter design with little or no attention given to improving the prover. Recognizing that a calibrating device should be an order of magnitude better than the instrument to be calibrated, in both accuracy and repeatability, the manufacturer initiated a study in 1976 to determine ways of employing new technology to develop a high accuracy laboratory domestic gas meter prover. The study was a joint effort between Rockwells Municipal & Utility Division in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Rockwell Science Center in Thousand Oaks, California.
