Abstract: In todays economy utilities need to reduce their costs in order to remain competitive with alternate energy sources. One way to contribute to this reduction is to employ a more economical program for the removal and testing of meters in service. Many methods are available to accomplish this end, but they all have one factor in common. All concentrate on removing the poorly performing meters and leaving the more accurate ones in service. The purpose of this paper is to review the methods of monitoring and controlling meter performance through statistical sampling. We will show this to be a better method than just replacing meters based on length of service. Implementation of the methods that will be discussed should provide reduced change-out costs while maintaining high measurement accuracy. The purpose is thereby in line with the American National Standard B109.1 for In-Service Performance Programs of Gas Displacement Meters. The objective section of this Standard is reprinted below for reference.
