Leveraging In-house Certified Welding Inspectors and API 1104 qualified welders, GFCP delivers tailor-made solutions designed to meet specific customer needs with unmatched precision and reliability.
GFCP’s team of engineers and product managers work closely with clients to address unique challenges from initial briefing through design, manufacture and testing to final delivery. Each meter set is crafted in the U.S.A. with a focus on exceptional quality and performance.
The custom commercial meter sets are engineered for quick installation, significantly reducing on-site labor costs and speeding up project timelines. By minimizing threaded joints, the risk of gas leaks is greatly reduced, enhancing overall safety.

The meter sets are constructed using API 1104 certified welding, and custom packaging and shipping options are available to suit individual customer requirements. Traceability is a key feature, with each component marked with heat/lot numbers, rating/grade, serial numbers and material test reports (MTRs). Additionally, a detailed inspection package includes weld mapping, testing, blast profile and paint DFT (dry film thickness) with instrument certification. Products are serialized to meet GIS/compliance needs, with accessible replacement packages provided.
GFCP’s commercial meter sets comply with rigorous industry standards to ensure reliable field performance. They meet the DOT Code of Federal Regulations Title 49 Part 192 and are constructed from materials compliant with ASTM A53/API5L for steel gas carriers. Protective coatings follow SSPC/NACE guidelines, and each part undergoes sandblasting and epoxy/urethane painting to meet specifications, including thickness and color requirements, as well as Cathodic Disbondment Testing, salt spray, and impact resistance testing.
