This paper refers to analyzing some components of a natural gas meter. There is a question of making the gas meter design and execution process more efficient. A description of the components of a gas meter is made. It is proposed to improve the natural gas meter. Designing is an important and vital stage in the product’s lifetime, an analysis of the environmental impact and the durability of the product is done, so an analysis is made using the SolidWorks-CAD software. The object of the analysis is a toothed wheel, part of the mechanical bimetal temperature compensator. The case study presents a sustainability report showing a decrease in manufacturing cost, an improvement in the materials used, and a lower impact on the environment.
