If the barometer height, pressure and temperature of the gas deviate very much from the normal values this must
f = 273+t . 1013,25
273 B+Pu
t = Temperature of the gas at the gas meter (15°C)
B = Barometer height (945 mbar)
Pu= Pressure of the gas at the gas meter (15,0 mbar)
f = 273+15 . 1013,25
273 945+15
f = 11,1
The gas volume read on the gas meter actually reads 1,11 .12,9 = 14,4 m3/h.
