Real-World Examples

Let’s consider three scenarios:

• Scenario 1: A homeowner with a 5/8″ meter, using cubic feet, has readings of 1234.56 and 1235.78. Their usage is (1235.78 - 1234.56) * 0.007854 cubic feet.
• Scenario 2: A business with a 3/4″ meter, using gallons, has readings of 98765.43 and 98772.12. Their usage is (98772.12 - 98765.43) * 0.00011011 gallons.
• Scenario 3: A property with a 1″ meter, using cubic feet, has readings of 456789.12 and 456795.34. Their usage is (456795.34 - 456789.12) * 0.007854 cubic feet.
