Specifications and Product Details:

ICG serial IC card gas meter and its system are the new high-tech intelligent products of Sapphire Meter after entering the new century.

The new IC card intelligent meter is convenient for gas management and daily use. It can fundamentally solve the problems of difficult household meter reading and gas payment in arrears. Its software system is simple and easy to operate.

After the high-tech products series entering the market, it has drawn the attention of large gas companies with customers’ applause. It has become the first enterprise in China where high-tech electromechanical integrated products are produced by merely one independent enterprise. It was certified as a high-tech enterprise of Zhejiang province in 2003. Its small and beautiful appearance, practical and reliable functions and the most favorable cost performance are the best among its competitors in China.

IC Card Intelligent Gas Meter is a device with a sender set on a basic diaphragm meter, IC card as the media, electronic controller and electrical valve attached. The meter has integrative shape and compact design with beautiful appearance as well as accurate measurement. Furthermore it is convenient for installation and simple to operate with various functions. It is one of the newest high-tech products presented by Sapphire Meter and a main solution for the automatic and scientific gas management by gas companies.
