History of the Development of Gas Meters

A brief history of gas meter development in my country is as follows:

1. Conventional diaphragm gas meters (manual reading meters)

These rely on manual home meter reading and billing. This is difficult and costly, making it difficult to collect gas fees and resulting in high operating and management costs for urban gas companies.

2. IC card meters

With their prepayment feature, they solve billing issues and significantly reduce labor costs. However, IC card meters also encounter various problems. Because IC card meters are installed in households and cannot be monitored for long periods, gas companies conduct safety inspections only once every two years. Gas companies have no way of knowing whether the meter is functioning properly or has any faults.

3.Smart IoT meters

Smart gas meters utilize IoT technology, allowing users to purchase gas directly from their mobile phones and providing real-time gas usage statistics, reducing human error and improving gas usage efficiency. Furthermore, smart gas meters can identify safety hazards such as gas leaks and issue timely alarms, reducing the risks of gas use.
