IMPROVEMENT OF ACCURACY OF NATURAL GAS METERING BY MEANS OF HOUSEHOLD GAS METERS

Abstract:
The paper deals with the new technique for calibration of the household gas meters according to the working conditions in order to reduce the error caused by non-conversion of gas volume to base conditions. To apply this technique the studies of gas pressure and temperature variations in household gas meters during a year were carried out, the ratio of gas volumes consumed by household consumers during the cold and warm seasons of the year is defined. Based on the studies the average annual gas temperature and pressure weighed by the consumed gas volumes are defined. Based on the weighed values of gas temperature and pressure the nominal values of gas temperature and pressure are defined in order to convert the readings of the gas meters to these nominal values. Application of the developed technique provides reduction of unaccounted volume of gas and reduction of unbalances in gas distributing companies.
