Gas Meter Type Code - Thermal Mass Measurement
There is currently no option under 'Meter Type Code' for Gas Meters to classify the meter as Thermal Mass. The best option it seems is to apply 'Z - Unknown'
There are more Gas Manufacturers developing/releasing Thermal Mass Gas meters in preparation for higher blends of Hydrogen, yet there is no option in the Meter Type Code for this therefore it will be unclear what type of Gas meter is on-site.
An additional Data Attribute for 'Meter Type Code' on Gas flows to include a reference for 'Thermal Mass'
