Conn. Agencies Regs. § 16-11-23 - Meter accuracy
(a) Every gas
service meter, before being installed for the use of any customer, shall be in
good order and shall be adjusted by the gas company or its agents to register
correctly within the tolerances herein specified. Tests at a rate of flow of
one-fifth or less of rated capacity and at a rate of flow equal to or greater
than the rated capacity of the meter are required for this determination. The
tests at the two rates of flow shall agree within one per cent and the accuracy
of the meter at the lower rate of flow shall be within a tolerance of plus or
minus one per cent.
(b) Every gas
meter removed from service, if practicable, shall be tested for accuracy, at a
rate of flow of approximately one-fifth of the rated capacity of the meter, and
a record kept of such "as found" tests until the meter is permanently retired
from service.
(c) At the time the
meter is placed in service either the meter index shall be set at zero or the
meter index reading shall be recorded.
