Abstract: Recent increases in the price of natural gas have caused gas consumers to place more emphasis on gas measurement accuracy. Gas meter and regulator manufacturers must therefore continually search for new ways to improve the performance of their products. These improvements might be in the form of a new mechanical device to be installed in a meter or regulator or simply the making of an existing part from a more durable or better performing material. One of todays more common methods of improving performance of gas meters and regulators is through the use of plastic materials. Properly applied, plastic materials can be usedfora wide variety of applications. Some of the important characteristics of these materials are: 1. Wide Variety of Materials and Properties 2. High Lubricity with Low Coefficients of Friction 3. Corrosion Resistant 4. Good Wear Characteristics 5. Lightweight 6. Can be Molded into Intricate Shapes to Perform More Than One Function 7. No Machining Operations.
