Atmospheric Pressure – Effects in Gas Metering

barometer

Understanding the impact of atmospheric pressure on gas flow metering is critical for accurate measurement and billing. In this insightful article, Gareth Lake explains how weather-related fluctuations in atmospheric pressure can introduce bias in gas metering systems, especially those using gauge pressure transmitters.

The article covers:

  • How absolute pressure is calculated using atmospheric pressure.
  • The real-world impact of pressure changes on gas flow accuracy.
  • Potential financial implications of even small variations in atmospheric pressure.

Check out the full article to learn more about minimising bias and ensuring measurement accuracy.

Part 2 is coming soon with solutions to mitigate these variations.
