What are the types of gas meters?

Gas meters are divided into mechanical diaphragm gas meters, IC card diaphragm gas meters, wireless remote transmission diaphragm gas meters and ultrasonic gas meters. Generally, the first three types of meters are household gas meters, and ultrasonic gas meters are mostly used for gas measurement in the industrial field.

Mechanical diaphragm gas meters are the most basic household gas meters. This old-fashioned gas meter uses a mechanical roller to count the gas usage. Every time a unit of gas is used, the roller count increases by one. Meter readers need to go door to door to read the meter in order to settle the gas bill.

The IC card diaphragm gas meter is derived from the traditional mechanical meter. From the appearance of the body, compared with the mechanical diaphragm gas meter, this smart gas meter has an additional electronic screen and card insertion area; it adopts a prepaid mode - customers first purchase gas at an offline recharge machine and then use it at home. When the remaining gas volume and the gas meter power are lower than the set value, the display will remind customers to purchase gas or replace the battery in time.

The remote diaphragm gas meter is a gas meter with remote communication function. It automatically collects data with the help of Internet of Things technology, thereby realizing remote meter reading, billing, recharging, valve control and other functions, allowing people to complete gas payment and recharging without leaving home.

Ultrasonic gas meter is a meter that uses ultrasonic technology to measure gas. It uses ultrasonic probe to measure gas flow and converts the flow value into standard volume flow. The power source of diaphragm gas meter is the gas passing through. The word wheel on the meter will rotate only when the gas passes through the gas meter. It has a fully anti-magnetic mechanical structure and cannot be controlled remotely or by any sticker chip.
