Described is a method and a device for more accurate measurement of a gas
supply with a gas meter. A consumption-weighted correction factor is
determined by weight averaging of a sensor error factor of the gas meter
with a consumption profile characteristic of the gas supply location and
the measuring signal is converted using the correction factor.
Embodiments relate inter alia to: operation of the gas meter as volume,
mass or energy meter; formulae for determining the correction factor with
sensor error factors and consumption profiles relative to volume, mass or
energy; and measuring signal correction in the case of a non-registering
or registering gas meter. Advantages are inter alia: subsequent
customer-specific measuring signal correction; no additional measuring
complexity; and improved measuring accuracy, in particular improved
energy measurement by means of compensation for inherent deviations of
the energy signal in the vase of heat value variations.
