Vesta gas meter

The bellows-type gas meter is the most popular type of device for measuring the volume of gas flowing through it. It is used in situations where the provider of gas needs to bill a user for the gas consumed and is usually scaled in cubic metres. It is a device that has been in use since the early 19th century and is usually installed on the premises of individual clients and small enterprises. The gas meter is made of two bellows that alternately fill with gas and transfer their reciprocal movement via a servomechanism to a drum counter mechanism, which allows a the consumption of the blue fuel to be read. Depending on the size of the device and the maximum throughput, there are different classes of bellows-type gas meters. Manufacturer: Vesta, Apparate- und Metallwarenfabrik GmbH, 1930 Inv.
