Reading a gas meter is not a complicated process if you remember these steps:

• Read the meter from left to right as you face it.
• You will notice that each dial turns in the opposite direction from the dial next to it.
• Always remember to record the number the pointer has just passed

In our example dials, we have the following readings:

• Dial A the pointer turns counterclockwise, this gives us a reading of six.
• Dial B the pointer in this case turns clockwise giving us a reading of one.
• Dial C similarly the pointer has just passed five, this is our reading.
• Dial D turns like dial B giving us a one.

Note: If your meter has three dials, start at the 100 thousand dial.
