Gas Meters
Gas imperial meter
If your gas meter has a row of five numbers, it's an imperial digital meter.
Write down the digits as you read them, from left to right including any leading zeros.
Ignore any numbers in red or which come after the decimal point.
Gas metric digital meter
If the row is six numbers long, you have a metric domestic meter.
Write down the digits as you read them, from left to right including any leading zeros.
Ignore any numbers in red or which come after the decimal point.
Gas dial meter
A gas dial meter has 4 or more dials. They each turn to point to a number between 0 and 9.
Starting with the far-left dial, write down the number that the pointer has just passed. For example, if the pointer is anywhere between 4 and 5, you should write down 4.
If the pointer is sitting directly over a number, write this down and underline it.
If you’ve underlined a number, check the next dial to the right. If the pointer on that dial is between 9 and 0, reduce the number you’ve underlined by 1. For example, if you originally wrote down 4, change it to 3.
