How to read your digital gas meter

Gas meters are either imperial or metric. An imperial meter will have four main numbers. A metric meter will have five main numbers.


Imperial digital gas meter

The reading on an imperial meter will look like this example:

GasDigitalMeter

• Read the first four numbers from left to right, including any 0s at the beginning.. Do not read the red number(s) or any numbers following the red number(s). So the reading in this example is 1234.

• When the meter read reaches 9,999 the meter will start recording from 0 again.


Metric digital gas meter

The reading on a metric meter will look like this example:

GasDigitalMeter2

• Read the first five numbers from left to right, including any 0s at the beginning. Do not read any of the numbers after a decimal point or space. So the reading in the example is 32764.

• When the meter reaches 99,999 the meter will start recording from 0 again.
