How to read the numbers on the gas meter
In the past 10 days, the topic of gas meter readings has triggered extensive discussions on social media and forums. Many users are confused about how to correctly read gas meter numbers, especially the differences between newly installed smart gas meters and traditional mechanical meters. This article will analyze in detail the reading method of gas meter numbers, and attach structured data for reference.
1. Basic types of gas meters
Currently, common gas meters are mainly divided into the following two types:
| Type | Features | Reading method |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical gas meter | Display air consumption through mechanical gear rotation | Read the black digital part directly |
| Smart gas meter | With electronic display | You need to press the key to switch to view different data |
2. Reading method of mechanical gas meter
Mechanical gas meters usually have multiple digital wheels. When reading, you need to pay attention to the following points:
| digital color | meaning | Whether included in the reading |
|---|---|---|
| black numbers | Integer part | Yes |
| red numbers | decimal part | No |
For example, when the dial displays "00235.678", the actual gas consumption should be recorded as 235 cubic meters, and the subsequent decimal part is usually not included in the charge.
