Abstract

Natural gas is one of the most important energy sources of the modern age. Gas network delivers gas from the exploitation site to the end user. Flow meters are used to measure quantity of gas supplied and they must meet firm standards regarding measurement. G4 gas meters used in housholds are investigated in test laboratory. Experimental results are analyzed in this paper and conclusions about correlations between measurement error and gas meter type, years in operation and flow dialer reading are given. Error measurement is also expressed as amount of natural gas delivered to end users.

Keywords
