Notes:
* Multiple options exist for MAOP, insure meter is rated for pressure
** These values have been interpolated and are estimates
For Propane capacities multiply Gas capacities by 0.63
For BTU flow rates assume 1000 BTU/scf Gas or 2500 BTU/scf Propane
For 200 series, we recommend using 0.5" differenetial capacities to ensure long-life performance
