[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, gasification projects have developed rapidly. Gas metering is currently mainly carried out by gas meters. At present, there are two mainstream gas meters on the market, one is the traditional mechanical diaphragm gas meter, and the other is the prepaid diaphragm gas meter. The mechanical diaphragm gas meter is measured by a mechanical roller. The mechanical roller is added according to the amount of gas used. Every time a unit is used, the roller counts one, and finally the gas volume measurement record is realized. The advantages of mechanical gas meters are reliable measurement and stable quality. The disadvantages are that meter reading is troublesome. Manual door-to-door meter reading is required, and gas companies need to invest a lot of financial and human resources. The prepaid diaphragm gas meter is improved on the basis of the traditional mechanical type. On the basis of the original, electronic metering, prepayment and display functions are added, which can display the current working status of the gas meter. The prepaid method of buying gas first and then using gas can greatly reduce the cost of gas companies and labor. In order to standardize the use of natural gas, and to efficiently utilize and monitor natural gas, it is necessary to test natural gas.

Usually, the gas meter head is integrated with gas metering-related structures and auxiliary functional structures for safe gas use to make the gas meter more intelligent and safe. In order to prevent water vapor, smoke, etc. from corroding the internal electronic components and battery of the gas meter, it is necessary to adopt sealing measures for the smart gas meter control box to isolate the electronic components from the relatively harsh working environment.
