Water meters provide accurate readings on the volumes of water that are delivered to a given property. Companies can access accurate flow meter readings through on site flow meter testing. According to A2Z Market Research, a company that conducts research that helps determine smart business goals, the following companies, including the Avanti Company, have been … Continued
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an integrated system that utilizes equipment and management systems for information and communications to collect the amount of water used by customers, averaging the data in real-time. AMI often uses radio-based technology to read water meters. This eliminates the use of manual meters. When discussing AMIs, there are four main … Continued
Electromagnetic flow meters (or mag meters) are volumetric flow meters that do not have moving parts that wear, ultimately reducing the need for maintenance and replacements. Accuracy on these flow meters on a wide flow range can be near an average of +/- 0.5% or better. They include an obstruction-free design, eliminating flow impediment, and … Continued
Itron recently announced that they had signed a contract with United Utilities to deploy their next-generation cloud-based meter management solution, Temetra. With their latest technology, utilities will be equipped to read 1.6 million meters with the goal in mind to elevate the way water is delivered and managed in the northwest region of England. … Continued
Municipal flow applications utilities and districts need propeller meters, an electromagnetic meter, or any other type of no moving parts meter that acts as an ultrasonic device. However, there are some situations where differential pressure (DP) meters are a more viable option – more specifically, the VM V-Cone, a DP meter designed by McCrometer for … Continued
Flow monitoring is necessary to obtain data when evaluating wet-weather and dry-weather in sanitary sewer flows. Incorporating the data into operational plans and optimizing maintenance activities are part of this process and continue to grow in popularity. Monitoring sewer flow involves the installation of a network of flow meters within a sewer system during … Continued
Several variables influence the pressure observed at every point in a pipeline, such as flow head loss from the reservoir or pump station providing the network and pressure intermittent events, to name a few. When evaluating measurements taken at different points on the network, total head variations will quickly overshadow more nuanced details such as … Continued
The acronym FOG Stands for Fats, Oils, and Grease. These substances often lead to major headaches due to their propensity in causing Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) by creating blockages. The issue is typically caused by Food Service Establishments FSE’s that make fried foods and dump the grease down the drain, versus having it taken away … Continued
