A flow meter known as a gas meter measures and registers the quantity of gas that is either produced or consumed. Moving gas in the pipe forms the driving force behind the gas meter. For every full rotation made by the dial with the lower value, the pointer on the next higher-value dial moves ahead by one digit. These meters are crucial to maintaining the right pressure of gas from the main supply of natural or liquefied petroleum gas to monitor its consumption. Gas meters are used extensively in residential, commercial, and industrial locations for flow measurements in terms of volume. The rate of industrialization led to an increased usage of natural gas in various developing countries. Gas meters can be installed to minimize gas wastage during its transmission and distribution.
