Digital Water Meter: The New Benchmark
The Digital water meters represent a significant advancement in water management technology. Unlike traditional mechanical meters, digital water meters use electronic sensors and digital displays to accurately and precisely report instantaneous water flow and consumption. Digital water meters are equipped with features like:
High accuracy (typically within 0.25% to 0.5% margin of error)
Large flow rates and pipe diameter ranges (DN2 to DN2000)
Digital output for easy interfacing with data loggers and building automation systems
Optional options of batch control, low-flow alert, and remote monitoring
Digital water meters can be used for residential and industrial applications, where precise billing, leak detection, and efficient water use monitoring can be provided.
Water Flow Meter
Water flow meters are devices specifically designed to meter water flow through a pipe, and they are also extremely purposeful for balancing the system, ensuring supply, and monitoring infrastructure. The primary types of water flow meters are:
Mechanical Water Flow Meters: They utilize moving components such as impellers or turbines to detect flow. They are robust and once again, are the best option for measuring bulk in high-flow meters.
Electromagnetic and Ultrasonic Meters: with virtually no moving parts, these have the benefit of durability and consistent accuracy, especially if often impacted by water quality which would affect mechanical meters.
Digital Meters: these possibly have the most advanced sensors with digital readouts and communication for remote reading, automatic data collection, and communication to smart city systems.
They find application in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors to deliver precise measurement for metering, resource management, and system upkeep.
