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 ...
A residential gas meter. The concept of submetering was effectively "invented" sometime in the 1920s, when many laws currently affecting submetering were written. [clarification needed] Submetering was not widespread until the energy crisis in the mid-1970s, which prompted an increase in submetering for gas and electric usage. Water submetering ...
A gas holder or gasholder, also known as a gasometer, is a large container in which natural gas or town gas (coal gas or formerly also water gas) is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap.
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.
A gas meter prover is a device to verify the accuracy of a gas meter. Provers are typically used in gas meter repair facilities, municipal gas meter shops, and public works shops. Provers work by passing a known volume of air through a meter, while monitoring the gas meter's register, index, or internal displacement.
Most utilities use 7" of water column (w.c.) for residential gas meters. I was told that when the gas pressure regulator goes below 7" w.c., the customer pays more and when the gas pressure regulator goes above 7" w.c., the utility loses money. I recently had my gas meter replaced and my regulator was at 4" w.c.. Does anyone know how to ...
