Abstract: Having to build one meter set isnt that large of an under taking. There are lots of different ways it could be built and it could be pieced together in the field. When having to build thousands however, like gas utilities do, every factors impact is multiplied many times over. It is the volume, that they are installed everywhere in communities and that they are the final component in the distribution system that makes meter set design so important. All meter sets must be safe and reliable while also being cost effective so different applications require different approaches. The requirements for a small residential service are different than a large industrial customer and we will review potential configurations to accommodate this. This paper will cover a variety of aspects pertaining to above ground distribution meter set assemblies. It will look at the components involved, different forms of overpressure protection, layouts, different approaches for construction and implementation, as well as some of the differences between residential, commercial and industrial services. Is it acceptable to shutoff gas in an overpressure event using a slamshut, is a single run sufficient or should a main and alternate run be used? A variety of components and approaches will be reviewed to show there may not be one correct answer but rather choices for gas utilities to choose from based on how they want their system to function.
