Abstract: Basically the best change-out policy from the standpoint of both the utility and the customer would be the one which would produce accurate metering at the least possible cost. In most states, the age change or mileage method is employed for testing and maintaining gas meters. This method results in mass removal without regard to the individual need. The sole purpose of this method of testing meters on a fixed age schedule is the detection and correction of those meters operating outside of prescribed limits at the end of the period. However, the majority of meters tested are found operating within limits. Thus, the ENTIRE meter population is tested periodically for the sole purpose of discovering those which are inaccurate. No consideration is given to the fact that a meter or group of meters might require more or less frequent maintenance than the average.
