The new technology promises more accurate natural gas readings and new safety measures. But some critics say they’re not worth the cost. Spire is installing new ‘smart meters’ around KC.
NYSEG and RG&E are installing the latest in energy use technology − smart meters − across their wide customer base that includes more than 1 million electric hook-ups and 500,000 natural gas ...
[1] Federal, state, and local municipalities across the United States have adopted the NFPA 72 as a standard in the enforcement of fire code regulation. Municipalities often adopt revisions of the code after years of review and amendments, making many local fire codes specific to their governing authorities.
Gas meter. A gas meter is a specialized flow meter, used to measure the volume of fuel gases such as natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. Gas meters are used at residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that consume fuel gas supplied by a gas utility. Gases are more difficult to measure than liquids, because measured volumes are ...
Automatic meter reading (AMR) is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from water meter or energy metering devices (gas, electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing. This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense of periodic ...

A gas leak refers to a leak of natural gas or another gaseous product from a pipeline or other containment into any area where the gas should not be present. Gas leaks can be hazardous to health as well as the environment. Even a small leak into a building or other confined space may gradually build up an explosive or lethal gas concentration. [1]
In the case of landfill gas migration, gas is produced by organic materials in the waste degrading over time. Typically 40% carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and 60% methane ( CH 4 ) by volume, this gas can be heavier than air or lighter depending on the concentration (which varies from time to time), but will move from an area of high pressure to one at ...
