With the popularization of natural gas, there are more and more types of household gas meters. According to different functions and structures, they can be divided into the following types:

Mechanical Gas Meter: Mechanical gas meter adopts the traditional mechanical structure to show the gas usage through mechanical dial, which usually requires manual labor to read the data and cannot be monitored and controlled remotely. Membrane gas meter is a common mechanical gas meter. It uses an elastic diaphragm to control the gas in and out, and measures the amount of gas used through changes in the movement of the diaphragm. Membrane gas meters usually require manual reading and cannot be remotely monitored and controlled.

Remote Smart Gas Meter: Remote Smart Gas Meter can realize remote monitoring of gas usage and control of gas supply by connecting with smart home system or remote monitoring equipment. Users can understand the gas usage in real time and control it remotely through mobile apps or other remote-control devices.

IC Card Gas Meter: IC card gas meter realizes gas measurement and control through integrated circuit card. Users can pre-charge the IC card and then insert the card into the gas meter, which will measure the gas usage and control the gas supply according to the information on the IC card.

Prepaid Gas Meter: Prepaid gas meter is a kind of prepaid method similar to cell phone card. Users can charge a certain amount of money to the gas company, and then the gas meter will measure the gas usage and control the gas supply according to the prepaid amount. When the prepaid amount is exhausted, the gas meter will automatically stop supplying gas, requiring the user to recharge again to continue to use.

Obviously, the future development trend of gas meter is intelligent, remote-control switch automatically. Our gas meter electric built-in valves can not only help to realize the function of remote-control switch, but also can be applied to different specifications of remote intelligent gas meter, IC card gas meter, prepaid gas meter. And it has the following advantages:
1. Safety: the built-in electric valve can automatically control the gas on and off to avoid gas leakage and accidents. When an accident occurs or gas leakage is detected, the motorized valve can automatically shut off the gas supply to ensure family safety.

2. Convenience: The built-in motorized valve can be connected with the smart home system or remote-control equipment, so that the user can remotely control the gas switch, and conveniently realize the function of remotely switching off and on the gas supply, and improve the convenience of life.

3. Energy saving and environmental protection: the built-in motorized valve can realize the intelligent control of gas, adjust the gas supply according to the actual needs of the family, avoid the waste of gas, and achieve the effect of energy saving and environmental protection.

In short, the use of household gas meter built-in electric valve can improve the safety of the family, provide convenient remote-control functions, and realize the goal of energy saving and environmental protection.
