Why Meter Body Material Decides Whether Your Meters Stay Accurate for 20 Years

A meter is a precision geometry device before it's anything else, and geometry is only as good as whatever's holding it in place. Metal doesn't have a creep term in its engineering data — polymer does, and under two decades of sustained line pressure that shows up as slow, silent dimensional drift no alarm catches. This paper walks through the materials science of why that drift happens in composite bodies and not in brass or stainless, and why the resulting revenue loss looks like nothing on a maintenance log.
