Abstract: An apparatus and method that monitors gas pressures at a gas pressure regulator valve is disclosed. The gas pressure regulator valve includes an inlet pressure detector for sensing an inlet gas pressure applied to the gas pressure regulator and an outlet pressure detector configured to sense an outlet gas pressure supplied by the gas regulator valve. A memory records the inlet gas pressure and the outlet gas pressure and a computing unit operably coupled to the memory analyzes the recorded inlet gas pressure and the outlet gas pressure to detect a change in the inlet and/or the outlet gas pressure and to generate a notification to indicate the operational status of the gas pressure regulator valve. A communication unit communicatively coupled to the computing unit transmits the notification and the inlet gas pressure and the outlet gas pressure to a gas utility operating the gas supply system.
