Is Your Gas Meter Installed Correctly?
Summer is the peak season for decoration. Some friends put the gas meter in the cabinet for the sake of beauty. I would like to remind everyone here that you must not do this, it is very likely to be dangerous, and now I will share it with you.
What is a gas meter?
Gas measuring instruments include G1.6, G2.5, G4 household meter series, and G6, G10, G16, G25, G40, G65, G100 industrial meter series and smart IC card gas meter, code prepaid gas meter, direct reading smart remote meter series. Outside the gas meter, there is only a roller with numbers in the small glass window. There are eight numbers on the roller, the five black numbers are integers, and the last three red numbers are decimals. The gas meter has an automatic accumulation function so that those families who use natural gas or pipeline gas can easily know how much gas is used so that they can pay according to the cubic meters of gas consumed each month. The production of a gas meter must go through the process of incoming material quality control, parts processing, movement assembly, finished watch assembly, finished watch function testing, etc. The entire production process has a complete quality management system.
Can the gas meter be installed in the cabinet?
The gas meter cannot be installed in the cabinet, because the state clearly stipulates that the valves and joints of the gas meter must be exposed outside. The gas itself is a gas, and it is easy to leak if used improperly, and the cabinet is a relatively sealed place. If a gas leak occurs, the user cannot find it the first time, which is very dangerous. The cabinet itself is a flammable object, which further increases the safety hazard.
Precautions for gas meter installation
The gas meter must be installed in a well-ventilated place that cannot be exposed to the sun. Do not put sundries near the gas meter, especially flammable and explosive items, otherwise it will be dangerous. Be sure to invite professional gas company personnel to install the gas meter. If you have any questions, you can call the after-sales service of the local gas company. In daily life, it is often encountered that the gas meter does not display the value, which is very likely to be observed after changing the battery or turning on the gas. If it is still not displayed, please do not disassemble it by yourself. If the user really needs to dismantle, refit, relocate and install the gas pipeline and gas meter, it should be constructed by a gas installation and maintenance enterprise with relevant qualifications. According to the provisions of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China: the service life of the gas meter is 10 years. Excessive service of the gas meter will affect the measurement accuracy, and there will be dangers such as gas leakage.
Finally, please remember that the gas meter cannot be installed in the cabinet. Everyone must keep this in mind when decorating.
