1. A dust detection system, comprising:
a data collection unit connected to a gas meter and configured to collect a set of parameters of the gas meter;
a memory device storing executable instructions; and
a processing unit in communication with the memory device and connected to the data collection unit that is configured to:
receive data associated with at least one parameter in the set of parameters of the gas meter, wherein the at least one parameter includes a resonance frequency;
calculate a numerical value of the resonance frequency;
compare the calculated numerical value of the resonance frequency with a standard resonance frequency to determine a shift;
in response to determining a shift in the calculated resonance frequency from the standard resonance frequency, determine a fault in the gas meter due to a presence of dust; and
generate at least one of an alert or a report based on the fault.
