What is the "Mtr Factor" shown on my gas bill?

  • The “Mtr Factor” is an abbreviation for Meter Factor. Your gas meter will accurately record the amount of gas used if the pressure is 4.4 ounces and at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. These parameters would result in a Meter Factor of 1.00. When the Meter Factor is 1.00, it is omitted from the bill.

    If the meter must be operated at a higher pressure to accommodate the customer’s requirements, then a Meter Factor will be used to produce an accurate meter reading. In addition, if temperatures are substantially below 60 degrees, then additional compensation will be added to the meter factor. The meter factor is derived from industry research and calculations.

    The Meter Factor allows the utility to bill the customer for the actual volume of gas used each month.
