>In Massachusetts, Lost and Unaccounted for Gas (LAUG) is estimated per mile of pipe, rather than evaluated by regulators or even industry. It is a simple multiplication problem with little bearing on reality Isn't both ends of a pipe metered? Even if not every pope is metered, at the very least there should be metering at the point of bulk purchase (eg. from a LNG ship) to the end user (gas meter at a home). How har…

For far too long we have put up with unmetered popes. Lemme give you 95 reasons why all popes should be metered...

I know HN comments are among the last bastion of cogent online discourse, but I needed this today.

Nope, Ex rated coriolis flowmeters are barely $150k.

A residential rotary gas meter costs less than €15, and that's the long tail you need to replace to measure losses accurately. Edit: And current turbine and aperture flow meters cost hundreds.

Ok...I don't think everyone here is saying you should put a Coriolis meter on every single residential service. That would be insane.
