Flow meters are essential components of any industrial system, providing essential data about the flow of liquids, gases and other materials. By accurately measuring the flow rate, pressure and other characteristics of these materials, flow meters enable industries to reduce costs and increase efficiency. But as technology continues to advance, even the most advanced … Continued
When it comes to AMI systems, there are many factors to consider when selecting the right solution for your technical support needs. Whether you need district metering, acoustic leak detection, or metered leak detection, an AMI system can provide the data necessary to conserve and reduce non-revenue water. District metering is a great way … Continued
As a utility, accurate flow meter reading is essential for providing customers with accurate bills and efficient water management. With advances in technology, the need for manual meter reading processes has been reduced, and smart water solutions have stepped in to provide more reliable and efficient solutions. By utilizing Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced … Continued
Flow meters are an important part of many industrial processes, providing accurate and reliable measurements of the flow rate of a particular liquid or gas. As such, flow meters require regular maintenance and service to ensure their continued accuracy and reliability. In recent years, AMI (Automatic Meter Infrastructure) and AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) technologies have … Continued

Water meter data can be a utility’s best friend or its worst enemy. Collecting water data is a challenging operation for certain utilities. Antiquated technology or inaccurate meters make it difficult to get reads at all, let alone evaluate them. Analytics software can assist utilities in overcoming these obstacles and maximize the value of their … Continued
Many considerations will impact what type of meter is best for the job. It will help tremendously to consider the local environment, any possible pipeline intervention, and what the project priorities are. The flow meter can be used as a guide to making rational decisions about flow by knowing how it will interact with the … Continued
Hydronic systems are stringent and have exact criteria for flow calculation that must be met by commercial and industrial facilities. Flow meters take care of measuring closed-loop energy where the liquid is absorbed by a source, cooled or heated, and then provided to a load as needed. Effective hydronic device installation is a crucial phase, … Continued
The McCrometer® McMag 2000 and McMag 3000 may have similar names and a small number change, but the differences between the two electromagnetic (mag) meters go much deeper. For example, the Mc®Mag 3000’s sensor is identical to the FPI’s, except it has more electrodes, and the line is more invasive. The tilted sensor positioning, however, … Continued
As a result of factors like fatigue and stress, joints and fittings on the pipeline experience leaks. In the case of pipeline wall failures, they may also experience thinning due to these same factors. Although a multitude of factors may lead to stress on the pipeline, ‘pressure transients’ is the one we’re concentrating on for … Continued
