Abstract: How are plastic meter parts doing? The answer to that question is well, but not perfect. The inclusion of plastics in meters is a part of an increasing use of plastics in a wide variety of manufactured goods. Let us first look at the use of plastics in general. The term plastic actually refers to a very wide variety of materials of varying characteristics. Over the last two decades, plastics have greatly increased in number, quality, and use. The techniques used to design and select plastic materials have developed to account for the different characteristics of plastics-such characteristics as creep, environmental stress crack resistance, thermal expansion and contraction, ultraviolet degradation, and resistance to softening when in contact with various chemical agents. The development of engineering techniques, improved plastics, and more complete information about the performance of those plastics has led to expanding uses. Their use in gas meters, particularly the changes in the last decade, is a good example of these new uses.
