Working out gas usage

susieg

Trying to work out how many kilowatts of gas i have used. Please can anyone help me convert 1428 units on a metric gas meter to kilowatts. Thank you x

1428 on a m3 meter is 16,226kWh.

Method:
Work out difference between readings (in your case 1428)

Multiply this figure by volume correction factor (1.02264) (can vary slightly)
Multiply the result by calorific value (40.0) (can vary anywhere between 37 and 43 apparently - check your bill)
Divide the result by kWh conversion factor (3.6) and round up to the nearest whole number

And Bob's your uncle. 16,226kWh.

Or multiply by 11.2 for a rough figure, 1428 x 11.2 = 15994
