Sensus Sonix Commercial Gas Meter Granted 10-Year Initial Reverification Period from Measurement Canada

Gas utilities save time and money with fewer industry tests

(Click-to-Tweet) – The Sonix® 880/25 commercial meter from Sensus was granted an “unconditionally lengthened initial reverification period” from Measurement Canada. Gas utilities in Canada and the United States can now leave Sonix meters in service 67 percent longer, saving time and resources on industry-required tests. The Sonix gas meter is the only meter in its class to receive a 10-year initial reverification period.

The Sonix initial reverification period is retroactive to all new meters verified and sealed on or after January 1, 2010. This means that gas utilities can:

  • Save time with fewer industry tests
  • Reduce operational costs

“Utilities know the routine. Even though their gas meters read accurately, they were required to take meters out of service every six years, test them, and put them back into service. Not anymore,” said Chris Wykle, Sensus director of gas marketing.

Measurement Canada is the Canadian government agency responsible for ensuring that businesses and consumers receive fair and accurate measure in financial transactions involving goods and services.

 

Summary:
  • Gas utilities can save time with fewer tests and reduce operational costs, all while knowing their meter reads are accurate.
  • The Sonix gas meter is the only meter in its class to receive a 10-year initial reverification period.
  • The Sonix initial reverification period is retroactive to all new meters verified and sealed on or after January 1, 2010.

Utilities know the routine. Even though their gas meters read accurately, they were required to take meters out of service every six years, test them, and put them back into service. Not anymore.
