### sec.631 What is a meter
A meter is a device used to work out, by direct measurement, the energy, mass or volume of petroleum or fuel gas transferred from one place to another.
A meter includes—
a measuring device and its ancillary equipment; and
a positive displacement meter, turbine meter and orifice metering
a flow computer
a measurement method.
calibrated weighbridge differences
tank dip readings
for disposal of incidental coal seam gas in ventilation air from an underground coal mine, estimation of flow rates and sampling of methane content measurements
A reference to a meter includes a part of the meter.
