Abstract: A study has been done by the Engineering Department of Columbia Gas Distribution Companies to determine the feasibility of using fixed pressure factor measurement as an alternative to our present method of elevated pressure measurement. Presently, our normal installation contains a meter measuring at line pressure and a monitored set of regulators cutting to the customers delivery pressure. As an alternative, we have considered installing a monitored set of regulators upstream of the meter cutting to the delivery pressure. The meter would then have a pressure compensated index that is read directly or a standard index which is read and sent to accounting where a correction factor is applied by the computer. In order to make the study workable, the scope was restricted to 10 psig measurement with only diaphragm meters as the measuring device. Over a period of seven years, our company has made 28 installations of 10 psig sets on an experimental basis. The regulation in these stations is of a wide range of regulators from rough cut farm tap type regulators to pilot operated regulators.
