Regulation 2(1)
The pressure conversion factor is the number given by the following formula, namely—
where—
M =the number of millibars in the pressure of the gas at the meter;
A =the number of millibars of pressure to be deducted from M on account of the height of the meter above mean sea level measured at Ordnance Survey datum given by the table below.
Height above sea level in metres | Pressure in millibars to be deducted | Height above sea level in metres | Pressure in millibars to be deducted | Height above sea level in metres | Pressure in millibars to be deducted |

The compressibility factor is:
(a)where the pressure of the gas at the meter does not exceed 2 bar, the number one; and
(b)where that pressure exceeds 2 bar, the number given by the following formula, namely:
where
M=the number of millibars of that pressure.
