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 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.
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.
Schematic process flow diagram of a typical facility for processing raw natural gas to produce pipeline sales gas. Legend: Located at gas wells Located at gas processing plant; Red indicates final sales products; Blue indicates optional unit processes available; Notes: Condensate is also called natural gasoline or casinghead gasoline.
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 positive displacement meter is a type of flow meter that requires fluid to mechanically displace components in the meter in order for flow measurement. Positive displacement (PD) flow meters measure the volumetric flow rate of a moving fluid or gas by dividing the media into fixed, metered volumes (finite increments or volumes of the fluid).
