To take these changes into account, the calculation is carried out using a formula where the difference in meter readings is multiplied by the “temperature coefficient”. This technique is used if the meter is not equipped with a temperature compensation system that automatically takes into account temperature changes.

The coefficients are set by Rosstandart two…
