    Volumetric Measurement of LPG – cubic meter (m3)

    Billing or gas purchase is in kg

    Converting volumetric figure to kg


    ◦ Temperature
    ◦ Pressure
    Meter Reading
    Consumption (kg) = Volume (m3) x Correction factor

    Correction factor – changes in the volume of gas based Temperature and


    Pressure

    At standard temperature and Pressure at sea level, i.e.


    ◦ Temperature, T1 = 150C
    ◦ Pressure, P1 = 1.01325 bar
