Determination of Flow Rate at Site

• Determine, in how much time the meter counter completes cir

cle of 10 Cuft or passes 10 Cuft gas
FLOWRATE 10 FT3 / 6 SEC
10/6 X3600
6000 FT3 / Hr

• Alternatively we can determine flow rate by noting that how m

uch volume of gas has passed in one minute. Suppose that it
comes = 100 Cuft in 1 minute then
flowrate will be 100 X 60 = 6000 Cuft/Hr

Calculation of Bill
Domestic Consumer:
Meter Reading (Previous Month) = 0.450 M3
Meter Reading (Current Month) = 68.000 M3
Difference (Gas Consumed) = 67.550 M3
Apply P and T factors to arrive at Standard Volume. In case of Domestic Consumers such
factors are not applied
Conversion to Hm3 = 67.550/100 = 0.67 Hm3

If the Readings are in Cuft then conversion to Hm3 as follows: -

(Cuft × 0.02817385) / 100 = Cuft /(35.31467×100) Hm3

Conversion of Hm3 to MMBTU = (0.67 × 100)/0.02817385 × CV (Btus/SCF) × 1/1000,000

Conversion of Hm3 to MMBTU = (0.67 × CV (Btus/SCF) ) × 100 × 35.31467 / 1000,000= 2.19

Complete Bill also includes GST and Meter Rent

Slab = (no of days/30) × (Hm3 × GCV ) × 100 × 35.31467 / 1000,000
Domestic Slab Rates
Slab Usage of gas in Hm3 Rs. Per MMBtu
1 Upto 1 Hm3 95.0
2 1 to 3 190.0
3 3 to 5 800.0
4 Over 5 and Above 1006.4

1.57× 95.01 = 149.16

0.62× 99.48 = 61.68

Conversion Factors
1 m3 (Cum) = 35.31467 ft3 (Cuft)
1 MCF = 1000 CF (MCF means thousand Cubic feet)

1 MMCF = 1000 MCF (MMCF means Million Cubic feet)

Btu = Cuft × GCV (Gross Calorific Value in Btus per SCF)

MMBtu = MMCF × GCV

°F = 1.8 × °C + 32
1 bar = 14.50377 psi
