SSGC Focusing on Improving Measurement Accuracy

  • 80% of all the meters that had been in service for more than 4 years at larger customer sites have been successfully replaced during FY 2022-23. Efforts are underway to reach 100% mark.
  • Replacement of 500 old Electronic Volume Correctors (EVCs) with latest version EVCs having enhanced anti-theft and anti-tampering capabilities at largest industrial customers.
  • During FY 2022-23, 1,359 EVCs across the franchise areas on the customer meters have been replaced or upgraded.
  • Older metering devices are progressively being replaced with new models having advanced features and functionalities.
  • Capacity of the Meter Repair shop has been enhanced. An EVC Repair and Testing Lab has been established to refurbish defective EVCs with adoption of stringent QC measures.

*EVCs take the incoming pulse signal from a gas meter and also record the local pressure and temperature to calculate the standard (Corrected volume) of gas that has passed through the gas flow meter.
