A water meter is a device that measures the volume of water that a building or other unit uses. The meter measures the flow of water through a portion of a system, such as a residential building or office building. This device also helps the building owner or manager monitor and control the water bill. In addition to measuring water usage, a water meter measures the amount of water waste generated, and provides the owner or manager with important information about how much money is being spent on water.
PD meters
PD meters are excellent instruments for measuring liquid volumes. Unlike traditional water meters, PD meters move in lockstep with the fluid they are measuring. The precision of these devices does not depend on the density or viscosity of the fluid, nor does the turbulence of the pipe it is placed in. A frictionless liquid seal separates each measured volume. Sealing effectiveness depends on manufacturing precision and the ease of rotation of the meter components. Fluids should be relatively clean to ensure accuracy.
Multi-jet meters
Designed with accuracy in mind, Multi-Jet water meters can be the perfect solution for your sub-metering needs. This device features an accurate flow rate of up to 0.2 gallons per minute, and can measure water usage in either US Gallons or cubic feet. They are also available with a pulse output and a 2″ NPT union connection. Here are the advantages of Multi-jet meters. Read on to find out more.
Turbine meters
DLJ turbine meters are made of cast iron and are easy to install and maintain. The rotating odometer type dial makes reading the water meter easy. They have a sealed register and interchangeable spare parts. They can handle pressure ranges from 7 to 232 psi. They have long working life and are easy to read. Turbine meters are available in various sizes. This article describes the pros and cons of each type.
Sensus Meter meter
You may have heard of the Sensus Meter, the newest type of water meter on the market. This meter reads water use in thousands of gallons and has a red dial that indicates if there is a leak. When a leak is detected, the meter will automatically transmit a signal to the truck’s computer. The next time the truck comes to your home, they’ll stop by and check your water meter.
Amherst meter
Most Amherst residences have a water meter. These meters are typically on the basement floor. They are brass colored with a plastic top and have a clock face with a single needle on top. There is also a small black box outside the home that a meter reader can read from a distance. If the meter moves, the water bill will rise, and you will pay more.
