TIMING THE GAS METER
After the boiler has been started, and with no other appliances using gas, time the gas
meter to be certain that the unit is running at the proper gas input. Determine the cubic
feet of gas passing through the meter and determine the input in Btu per hour. Input must
be within plus or minus 5% of the rated input.
Time, in seconds, the time taken to pass 2 cubic feet of gas through the meter (i.e. one
revolution of a 2 cu ft dial) or 0.1 cubic metres if the meter is of the new metric digital type.
Model
Qudos 28s (natural gas)
Qudos 28sP Combi (LPG)
If the meter timing is found to be incorrect when the boiler is firing at maximum rate
contact Keston Boilers Ltd for further guidance.
