Abstract
A system includes a gas meter to measure gas consumption and flow downstream for a gas regulator. The system also includes the gas regulator with an inlet connected to an upstream pipeline and an outlet connected to the gas meter. The system also includes a pressure sensor positioned within the gas meter to measure outlet pressure of the gas regulator. The gas meter is able to derive upstream pressure without an additional pressure sensor on an inlet side of the gas regulator by combining the measured gas flow and a measured regulator outlet pressure with a characterization curve of the gas regulator showing a relation between input pressure to the output pressure and to the gas flow.
