This is the meter that is on the side of your house that public service reads to determine how much energy you are using.

The pressure regulator keeps the gas pressure at a constant safe level to move through the pipes in your home. If the pressure were to get too high, it could rupture a joint in the pipe and allow gas to vent into your walls/ home.
The regulator is usually just before the meter. The meter has the dials on it.

Well, usually you have two things installed, a meter to read your gas usage and a regulator to bring the pressure down to usable pressure in a houosehold. The regulator is usually a valve with a large disc shaped piece on top of it, and usually located after your meter.

This measure the amount of gas that goes into your home. Not unlike the fuel pump in the gas station only, it measure the gasoline that goes into your car. It also controls the pressure that comes through, and gives them a readout that's read and they know of course how much you use. I hope this gives you an idea. The electric meter does the same.

The gas meter, meters are reads, the amount of gas you use, it does not regulate it. The regulater is that flying saucer looking thing with the big hump on it.

Cancell siemens immediately, as others have stated the govenor is the responsibility of your gas supplier. Also the working pressure can only be checked with appliances alight. A visual check will tell them nothing, unless there is an obvious gas leak.
