With the assured availability of natural gas, a government white paper on fuel policy [7] [8] in November 1967 proposed that natural gas should be immediately and more extensively exploited. The Gas Council and area boards began a ten-year programme to convert all users and appliances to operate on natural gas and consequently to discontinue ...
Loose tomatoes for sale at a UK greengrocer in 2013, dual-priced in imperial (£0.99 /lb) and metric (£2.18 /kg) units. Signs like these do not comply with legislation, as metric prices must not be less prominent. [1] [2] Metrication is the act or process of converting to the metric system of measurement.
For gas metering, gas orifice meters and ultrasonic flow meters are most common. [34] Coriolis meters are in use for liquid measurements, but can also take gas measurement applications. [35] For the application of allocation measurements, multiphase flow meters have been adopted, especially for subsea production systems. These equipments are ...

The former Weights and Measures office in Seven Sisters, London (590 Seven Sisters Road). The imperial system of units, imperial system or imperial units (also known as British Imperial [1] or Exchequer Standards of 1826) is the system of units first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act 1824 and continued to be developed through a series of Weights and Measures Acts and amendments.
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 highly ...
The oil and gas industry in the United Kingdom produced 1.42 million BOE per day [4] in 2014, of which 59% [4] was oil/liquids. In 2013 the UK consumed 1.508 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil and 2.735 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas, [5] so is now an importer of hydrocarbons having been a significant exporter in the 1980s and 1990s.
Yet other definitions are in use for industrial gas, [5] where, in the US, a standard cubic foot for industrial gas use is defined at 70 °F (21.1 °C) and 14.696 psia (101.325 kPa), while in Canada, a standard cubic meter for industrial gas use is defined at 15 °C (59 °F) and 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia).
