170 IAC 5-1-6 Customer meters; general requirements

Sec. 6. (a) Whenever a meter is tested to determine the accuracy with which it has been registering in service, it may be considered correct if found not more than an average of two percent (2%), plus or minus, in error when tested at its check and open rates. (b) For purpose of measurement to a customer, a cubic foot of gas is the amount of gas in a volume of one (1) cubic foot under the conditions existing in that customer's meter as and where installed, except: (1) corrections may be made for temperature, pressure, and other nonstandard gas conditions as provided in the customer's contract; or (2) the utility may, at its option, install gas meters which will compensate for changes in temperature above or below sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60° F). (c) Each service meter of the displacement type must indicate clearly the cubic feet or other units of volume for which charge is made to the customer. Where gas is metered under high pressure or where the quantity is determined by calculation from recording devices, the utility shall, on request, supply the customer with the information to make clear the method by which the quantity is determined.
