Gas meter testing
In European countries most of the houses have piped gas supply. India and many developing countries are moving towards piped gas for domestic use as well. Gas meters are used for measurement of supplied gas volume and billing.
Users are concerned about gas meter performance, safety and reliability during its use. With gas, safety becomes a key concern.
Product type testing, certification / homologation by an independent agency give confidence about quality and reliability to purchaser. Supplier needs to test product during development cycle to national / international standards for its compliance and specific directives such as European Measuring Instrument Directive (MID). With increasing implementation of smart meters there are additional tests to performed and complied.
