hi all,
is gas rating on a u16 meter the same as on a u6?
presumably less difference between start of 2min test and end as bigger volume meter?
did a gas rate on boiler and last 3 digits on meter difference was only 9 which didnt seem right to me but all combustion readings and meter pressure difference were normal?
is there a different chart i need as the one i have is upto 6m3 and not 16m3?
1st time ive had to work on a u16 and test was on worcs 24i junior?
does this indicate a fault with gas valve?
im going back to retest tomorrow to double check
 
The test dial on a u16 is 5 c/ft on a u6 its 1 c/ft.Do you remember how long it took to complete 1 rev?If so ill work it out for you.
 
hi mate its m3 so the numbers not the dial
meter reading was 07341-430
end of test was 07341-439

That's a pretty small appliance. 0.27m3/hr about 3.08kw depending on the cv where you are.

I worked it out based on ours which is 11.4
 
Seen skid marks on u16 converted to credit meter with analogue readout
