Many homes and apartments have gas appliances. This natural resource came into our life a long time ago, but at the moment it is not free, and many are wondering how to make its consumption or payment minimal. Indeed, especially in the winter period, in the presence of heating gas boilers, the resource consumption and payment for its consumption increase significantly. Plates and columns consume it much less. Household gas meters are now helping to take into account and use this type of natural material economically, by installing which you can not worry about overruns and overpayments for this valuable and necessary natural fuel.
If a gas pipeline is installed in a house, apartment or cottage, and there are household appliances that run on this fuel, then for home owners it would be better to install household gas meters. These special devices help to qualitatively record the volume of natural resources consumed by residents.
On the modern market, you can see a wide variety of manufactured meters from both domestic and foreign manufacturers. But they are also different in production and working principle. Household gas meters can be installed in suitable places indoors with household appliances, as well as outside. It all depends on the architecture of the buildings and the desire and capabilities of the owners.
Types and varieties of meters
Household gas meters differ in manufacturing, working principle, direction of fuel supply and throughput.
Membrane counters have a metal casing, an eight-digit counting mechanism in which rotation from the membrane is transmitted using a magnetic coupling. The material of the internal parts of the meter is resistant to corrosion, which makes its operation reliable, continuous and long-lasting. These devices are lightweight, compact in size and protected against external magnetic influences. With an individual order, these meters can be equipped with a device that generates pulsed signals for remote reading. The flow rate of the meters is from 2.5 to 6 m³ per hour.
Household gas diaphragm meters have two chambers separated by impermeable diaphragms. When the resource pressure difference at the counter input and output of the diaphragm, they make reciprocating movements, and using the kinematic device the adder rollers are forced to rotate. Details of the meters are made of high-quality plastic, which makes them smaller in weight and oversized in size. The meters are fire resistant and operate in temperature conditions from -40 ° to + 60 ° C. Miss from 2.5 to 6 cubic meters per hour. meters of fuel. They can be equipped with remote reading systems.
Rotary devices by means of a magnetic transmission of rotor rotation during the passage of a gas stream are transmitted to a reading mechanism. The case is made of steel, cast iron or aluminum, and by type the counters are voluminous. Like previous models of devices, they also work qualitatively at low pressures of the supplied natural resource. The gas meter of the household rotary type operates at temperatures from -40 ° to + 70 ° C and passes 0.5 - 1000 cubic meters. meters per hour, depending on the model.
When purchasing the selected household appliance and its subsequent installation, it is advisable to consult with specialists of the gas service.
