Abstract: The Distribution Measurement Section at Houston Natural Gas Corporation was responsible for the accurate measurement of 1+7,682,000,000 cubic feet of gas in 1974. This represents 58% of all the gas sold by the Distribution system. To show the magnitude of the responsibility of a Measurement Technician, the average voliune of gas through the 500 large capacity meters that a Measurement Technician tests each year is equal to 5*,000 residential and small commercial volumes. Last year 288l large capacity meters were tested in the field. The volume through the 288l meters is equal to 311,000 residential and small commercial meters. Any error or miscalculation made in the repair or adjustment of one large capacity meter would be equal to the same error in approximately 108 residential meters. Therefore the Measurement Technician should be above average in initiative, responsibility and mechanical aptitude. In most cases training and concern will develop the qualified personnel in these categories.
