Manifold for measuring differential pressure on a gas meter

A manifold assembly configured to measure differential pressure of fluid. The manifold assembly may have a monolithic body with an internally drilled fluid pathway. The body supports a differential pressure transducer that communicates, on either end, with the internally drilled fluid pathway. This configuration can generate data that defines pressure drop across impellers or other mechanisms on metrology hardware (or “gas meters”). Utilities can use this data to diagnose health or other conditions on the gas meter in the field.
