When measuring the flow of clean water in industrial and municipal applications, a tried-and-true method frequently yields the most precise readings. The Water Specialties propeller meter by McCrometer has earned the trust of many customers thanks to its high quality, long lifespan, and low maintenance needs. The Water Specialties Model ML Flow Meter is … Continued
Due to the fact that agricultural surface water applications divert water from lakes, rivers, or other similar sources, natural vegetation is abundant and frequently flows into the pipeline alongside the water. These surface water bodies may accumulate grass, moss, leaves, and other materials when irrigators pump water out of them. Although these surface water … Continued
Water utilities are increasingly relying on advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), including smart meters, to increase operational efficiencies and revenues, reduce waste, and improve customer service. The vastly expanded capabilities provided by AMI have a positive impact on how utilities collect data, bill for usage, and communicate with their customers. When considering using AMI, utilities should … Continued
One of the best innovations for water conservation and cost-savings is the development of smart water meters, which is gradually replacing the conventional methods of measuring water consumption. A smart water meter is a device that wirelessly connects to a local or wide area network to enable remote water usage monitoring and leak detection, minimizing … Continued
Considering the variety of factors that can have a significant negative impact on the measurements made by flow meters, it is crucial that the equipment is installed and configured according to the manufacturer’s recommendations by trained technicians to ensure that the system operates at or above its maximum potential. It’s crucial to keep in … Continued
When it comes to flow meter accuracy, regardless of the type or manufacturer of flow meter used in a system, there are two key aspects of flow meter that must be considered. First, the equipment’s actual stated accuracy range, which will be given as a percentage figure like +/- 0.2%. This would suggest that … Continued
A turbine flow meter is a device for measuring volume. As liquid or gas travels through the turbine housing, it causes the blades to revolve. The velocity of the fluid traveling through the flow meter is directly proportional to the velocity of the turbine rotor. The rotor is connected to a set of … Continued
Flow monitoring can help utilities detect the presence, quantity, and nature of problems within a community’s sewer system. Specifically, it can assist in determining whether pipes are undersized at a particular area, whether pipes need to be replaced, and where leaks may provide serious issues. Infiltration and inflow can frequently lead to negative … Continued
Identifying lost water begins with selecting a flow measurement method. Depending on the application, a number of flow measurement techniques are available. In closed pipe systems, they can include orifice, mechanical, ultrasonic, and electromagnetic flow meters. Each of these procedures has its own advantages and disadvantages. The second key factor is the measurement … Continued
