Abstract: Recent joint ventures with several natural gas distribution utilities have proved the technology behind domestic curb-side proving. Residential gas meters can be tested in the field as accurately as standard meter shop provers within a controlled environment. These pilot projects have also concluded that many domestic meters require minor repairs for continued service. Many of these minor repairs (such as meter tangent adjustments) can be performed directly in the field using the curb-side prover, or Field Proving Vehicle. With these observations in mind, the focus of attention shifts from confirming the technology behind the curb-side proving concept, to economically justifying its use in periodic change or sampling test programs. This paper will briefly explain the theory and principles behind domestic meter curb-side proving, review its benefits to the existing meter change out practice, and discuss how curb-side proving may be expanded to provide future cost reductions to distribution gas utilities.
