The role of large-diameter water meters

2025.2.4

The main functions of large-caliber water meters include the following aspects‌:

‌Flow measurement and trade settlement‌: Large-caliber water meters are mainly used for trade settlement measurement of industrial and commercial users, ensuring accurate measurement of large amounts of water flow, and helping users and management departments to accurately calculate water charges‌.

‌District metering (DMA) of pipe network system‌: In large-scale water supply pipe networks, large-caliber water meters are used for district metering (DMA) of pipe network systems, helping managers monitor water use in various areas and optimize pipe network management and maintenance‌.

‌Special purpose metering‌: Large-caliber water meters are also used for water metering for special purposes such as firefighting and gardening, ensuring that the water consumption of these important purposes is accurately recorded‌.

‌Increasing metering benefits‌: Although the number of large-caliber water meters is relatively small, the water volume they measure usually accounts for a large proportion of the total consumption, which plays a key role in regional water management and production and sales gap control‌.

‌Definition and classification of large-diameter water meters‌:
Large-diameter water meters usually refer to water meters with a nominal diameter greater than DN50, which are mainly used for flow measurement for industrial and commercial users. They measure flow based on measuring water flow velocity, and are called velocity-type water meters‌.
‌Technical features and advantages‌:

‌High-precision measurement‌: Double pulse sampling is used for measurement to ensure the accuracy of each measurement and improve the overall accuracy‌.
‌Waterproof card insertion design‌: Avoid the card insertion port from being affected by moisture and affecting normal use, and improve the service life and stability of the water meter.
‌Long-lasting power supply‌: Equipped with a dedicated lithium battery, it provides up to six years of continuous power supply, reducing the trouble of frequent battery replacement‌.
‌Intelligent functions‌: It has a variety of intelligent services such as time display, controller setting switching, remote data transmission, abnormal alarm, etc.‌
