Therefore, equivalent meter units are <br />calculated to provide a basis from which to allocate costs in proportion to meter size. Equivalent meter <br />calculations are shown in Table 5-9. <br /> <br />The number of meters in each meter size are from Table 2-6 (Lines 53-64). Equivalent meters are <br />calculated by multiplying the meter counts by the meter ratio in each size. <br /> <br />Table 5-9: Equivalent Recycled Meter Units <br />Line Meter Size Safe Operating <br />Capacity (gpm) Meter Ratio Number of <br />Meters <br />Equivalent <br />Meters <br />1 5/8" 20 1.00 5 5 <br />2 3/4" 30 1.50 1 2 <br />3 1" 50 2.50 15 38 <br />4 1 1/2" 100 5.00 83 415 <br />5 2" 160 8.00 32 256 <br />6 3" 350 17.50 7 123 <br />7 4" 630 31.50 4 126 <br />8 6" 1,300 65.00 2 130 <br />9 8" 2,800 140.00 0 0 <br />10 10" 4,200 210.00 0 0 <br />11 Total 149 1,094 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
