Features

🔥

Imperial & metric

Supports both U6 dial meters (time one revolution) and E6 meters (2-minute reading difference).

Instant results

Enter your reading and see gross & net values in kW, BTU/hr, ft³/hr, m³/hr and litres/hr immediately.

🧪

Three gas types

Natural Gas, Propane and Butane — each with the correct CV and gross-to-net ratio built in.

📏

Four dial sizes

Choose ¼, 1, 2 or 5 ft³/rev to match the test dial on your imperial meter.

💾

Save & compare

Log readings from multiple appliances on the same job. History is stored locally — no account needed.

🔒

No data collected

All calculations run on-device. No sign-in, no analytics, no network requests of any kind.

How it works

Select gas type

Choose Natural Gas, Propane or Butane.

2

Choose your meter

Imperial (U6) or Metric (E6) — select the matching tab.

3

Enter your reading

Time one revolution, or record two meter readings 2 minutes apart.

4

Read the results

Gross & net heat input in every unit, instantly.

Supported Meters

Imperial (U6)

Time one complete revolution of the test dial in seconds. Supports ¼, 1, 2 and 5 ft³/rev dial sizes. Uses the standard 1097 ÷ t formula scaled for dial size.

Metric (E6)

Record the meter reading, wait exactly 2 minutes, then record again. The app calculates consumption and converts to heat input using the standard × 30 × 10.72 formula.
