Very confusing since my meter dated1991 has 3 different cu ft units printed on the face of the meter 

The meter is also a type U6 
In multiplying one of the units shown on the meter face (212cu.ft/ hour ) x 0.0283 one gets 6 (rounded up) as in 6 cu.metres/ hour  which confirms conveniently the U6 meter type ? 

Surprised that this issue has not been clarified by now from other forum users but I am a newcomer for now. Just pleased oddly enough that my new gas supplier agrees that the conversion factor using my meter is 0.0283 ???? Thanks everyone who responded. I will wait for the Ombudsman’s verdict and then get on with my life !

As a new user you may not be aware but you do not create new threads for each comment you make.    You reply to the same thread you created at the start.

Plus, as mentioned previously, you are posting in the wrong section.

Yes, 212 cu.ft / hour or 6 cubic metres / hour is the maximum flow rate that the meter can support, but it's completely irrelevant to how you read the meter and how to convert the imperial value to metric.

A car's speedometer might certified for a maximum speed of 200mph but the figure is unrelated to the conversion that would be used to get the kph equivalent.
