Abstract

There is a certain production and sales difference in the urban gas transmission and distribution system, which is composed of many factors. Part of the reason is that the gas meter takes the volume under standard conditions as the measurement unit, but the gas temperature and pressure in the meter change with the environment of the gas supply pipelines, resulting in the measurement error of the domestic gas meter without temperature and pressure compensation. By analyzing the change of annual gas temperature and local atmospheric pressure when outdoor courtyard pipelines are overhead and buried in a city, the influence of temperature and pressure change on gas volume is discussed by using gas state equation, the production and sales difference caused by metering error is calculated, and the corresponding correction coefficient is put forward, which is of certain significance to reduce the production and sales difference. It is concluded that when temperature of the gas is lower than 20°C, the measurement error of the gas meter is negative, which has caused the loss of the gas company. For domestic gas meters without temperature compensation, the product of measured gas consumption and temperature correction coefficient can be taken as the actual gas consumption to correct the measurement error of gas meters.
