CLOCKING A GAS METER
1. Turn off all gas appliances in the home.
2. Turn on the furnace. Ensure the furnace is operating at a 100% firing rate on 2 stage and modulating furnace product.
3. Once heating cycle is at a steady state (typically 15 minutes of operation), use a stopwatch to time how long it takes
the smallest unit of measure dial on the gas meter to make a full revolution. In Table 1, one cubic foot is selected. The
smallest unit of measure will vary depending on the gas meter.

4. Using Table 2 below, find the number of seconds it took for the dial to make a full revolution. To the right of that num -
ber of seconds and below the Size of Test Dial (selected in step 3 and shown in Table 1) will be the Cubic Feet per
Hour (CFH).
