Abstract: Change is inevitable. Progress demands innovation. Find a better way or fail. Publish or perish. And so it is in the gas industry today. Our world continues to change at a very rapid pace. We in the gas industry must continue to be creative, innovative, imaginative, efficient, and productive, or the competitive world with its compensating rewards for performance will pass us by. The above statements are true for the gas industry in general. They are particularly true in the area of gas measurement. Just 15 years ago, in 1970, a few years prior to the first energy crunch, average costs of natural gas to a distribution company were in the area of three to four cents per therm. Today, costs for that same therm of natural gas have risen tenfold to over thirty cents per therm. Typical labor rates have increased threefold in those same fifteen years. Improvements in measurement accuracy and labor efficiencies are paramount to continued corporate success and customer satisfaction. To achieve these improvements and to solve old problems requires new ideas, changes in methods and implementation of both, a challenge constantly confronting each of us in our day-to-day operations. Members of the Distribution Measurement Committee have submitted for your consideration numerous new ideas, methods, and developments recently implemented by them to improve their operations and efficiencies. Many of these ideas were generated by member companies themselves. In other cases, it is a new application of equipment developed by others. In all cases, the result is an improvement c value to the submitting company perhaps tl ideas will be of value to you also. A brief sun marization of several of these ideas follow.
