    【Hot attention from Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Since the 1990s, China's natural gas industry has entered a fast track.
    Especially after entering the new century, natural gas consumption has grown rapidly.
    This has benefited from China’s urbanization and favorable policies for the natural gas industry.
    In recent years, , China's natural gas meter market has shown strong development momentum.

    Under urbanization, driving the growth of the gas industry

    Gas is one of the energy sources for urban residents and industrial and commercial households.
    As a public utility, the driving force for the development of the urban gas industry comes from urbanization.
    On the one hand, the "clustering effect" of the city makes it possible to centralize the supply of gas; on the other hand, urban life requires the use of clean and efficient living energy with gas.

     

    City gas is also called town gas, which refers to the gas used in cities and towns (including: cities, towns, villages and communities, etc.
    ) in our country.
    City gas mainly includes three types: man-made gas, liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas.
    Artificial gas is gradually withdrawing from people's sight due to its high cost, poor temperament, and the pollution of the environment during the production process of the gas source plant.
    Compared with liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas is becoming more and more popular as a cleaner, more efficient, and cheaper energy source.

     

    According to national* data, from 2010 to 2019, China's urbanization level increased from 49.
    95% to 60.
    6%.
    With the improvement of the level of urbanization and the increase of urban population, it will provide huge potential market development space for the urban gas industry.
    While urbanization promotes the growth of the natural gas industry, it also drives the market for related meters.

    Flowmeter
    Natural gas measurement methods mainly include volume measurement, mass measurement and energy measurement.
    Natural gas trade and developed countries such as Europe and the United States mostly adopt energy measurement methods, while my country still uses volume measurement methods.
    There are many methods for flow measurement.
    There are also many flow meters, which can be roughly divided into the following three types according to their working principles:
     
    Flow meter
      Differential pressure flowmeter: In the current pipeline natural gas measurement, standard orifice differential pressure flowmeter is still used for more than 95%, through indirect measurement of the natural gas pressure, differential pressure and temperature flowing through the standard orifice, and calculation according to empirical formula Output the volume flow of natural gas.

     

      Volumetric flowmeter: Gas waist wheel flowmeter is also called Roots flowmeter.
    It is a typical volumetric flowmeter, which is mostly used to continuously measure the total amount of gas flowing through the pipeline.
    The principle is that a closed chamber is formed between the rotor and the housing, that is, the metering chamber.

     

      Velocity flow meter: It is a flow meter based on the principle of directly measuring the flow velocity of full pipe flow in a closed pipeline.
    Including turbine flowmeter, vortex flowmeter, precession vortex flowmeter, ultrasonic flowmeter, etc.
    Since the measured flow rate is under the working condition, the volume flow under the working condition is also displayed later.
    Intelligent precession vortex flowmeters that use computers to automatically compensate temperature and pressure in real time have also appeared on the market.

     

      In addition, it is necessary to measure the flow of natural gas in all links of natural gas production, transportation and sales.
    The main flow meters used are precession vortex flowmeter, gas turbine flowmeter, gas Roots flowmeter, and gas waist wheel flowmeter.
    , Vortex flowmeter, ultrasonic flowmeter, orifice flowmeter, etc.
    , to provide guarantee for natural gas flow measurement
     

      Benefiting from the stable development of natural gas industry policies, the market demand for natural gas flow meters will continue to increase.

      With the expansion of the natural gas market, the gas meter market is also developing rapidly.
    It can be seen from the above that the household use of natural gas in my country has been increasing in the context of urbanization.
    Promoted by the positive news of the rapid development of the natural gas industry, gas meters, as instruments required for natural gas measurement, usher in a good development opportunity.

     

      At present, there are two mainstream gas meters on the market, one is a traditional mechanical diaphragm gas meter, and the other is an electronic diaphragm gas meter.
    Due to its mature technology, reliable measurement, stable quality and low price, diaphragm gas meters have been widely used in the development of urban gas in my country.

     

      With the rapid development of science and technology, the continuous deepening of my country's energy consumption structure reform and the gradual implementation of the 13th Five-Year Plan for natural gas, the number of users covered by gas will show a rapid growth, which will bring tremendous pressure to the meter reading work of gas companies.
    It is a general trend that smart gas meters with informatization, intelligence, and data transmission functions replace traditional diaphragm gas meters.
    With the arrival of the smart era, driven by the development of smart gas, diaphragm gas meters have gradually realized intelligence, and The gas metering industry occupies a leading position, and smart gas meters appear in people's lives.

     

      *The gas meter market largely depends on the penetration of gas.
    Urbanization brings great hope to the smart gas meter industry.
    With the rapid advancement of gasification projects in domestic provinces, cities, towns and villages, smart gas meters and gas Enterprises engaged in the R&D and production of management systems provide a good opportunity for development, and the demand for smart gas meters ushered in explosive growth*.

     

      In addition, if the gas meter is used for a long time, it is prone to gas leakage, increased failure rate, and non-counting phenomenon.
    The gas meter needs to be replaced in time.
    Therefore, the gas meter industry will be a continuously developing industry with broad market prospects.

     

      Time does not wait.
    In the context of urbanization, the gas industry continues to develop, and the related instrument market has unlimited potential.
    Flow meter companies can seize this development opportunity to continuously strengthen their own strength, further promote their own development, and occupy a place in the market.
