Abstract: The new American Meter Curb Meter is the result of a joint development between the Sempra Utilities and American Meter Company. Individuals within the two companies sought to provide a solution to an increasing demand for a curb meter replacement. Several options were considered and this is an account of the chosen meter design and its evolution. Some AGA members, particularly those residing in the northern parts of the country, may not be all that familiar with curb meters. These are 200, 400 and 600 cfh series meters that are traditionally cast iron, diaphragm style units with side connections and most importantly, top reading indexes. They are set within a subterranean vault, usually close to the street or curb. Inside the vault is the inlet line, shut off valve, regulator, meter and associated piping. The vault will have a removable top with an access door for the reading of the index. A curb meter vault can be a cool, dry and protected place to locate a meter or it can be a flooded, dirt filled, wet and corrosive nightmare. The resulting deterioration of the meters found in the latter situation can be extremely severe.
