Compared with traditional water meters, ultrasonic water meters have many significant advantages in measurement accuracy, functional diversity, maintenance costs, etc. The following is a specific introduction:
High precision measurement
Not affected by fluid characteristics: For fluids such as water, ultrasonic water meters are not affected by impurities and chemicals in water, and can measure flow stably and accurately. In contrast, mechanical water meters may cause impeller wear due to impurities in the water, affecting the measurement accuracy.
Wide range ratio: The range ratio of ultrasonic water meters is usually wider, up to 100:1 or even higher. This means that it can maintain a high measurement accuracy in both small and large flow situations, and can accurately measure the amount of water under different water usage scenarios, from tiny drips to large amounts of water.
Functional diversity
Data recording and storage: With data recording and storage functions, it can record data such as water consumption and water consumption time within a certain period of time, which is convenient for users and water supply departments to analyze and manage data, and provide detailed data support for water monitoring and charging.
Remote meter reading and monitoring: Generally can be equipped with remote communication modules, such as NB-IoT, LoRa, etc., to achieve remote meter reading and real-time monitoring. The water supply department can obtain the water meter data at any time through the background system, timely grasp the user’s water use, improve management efficiency, and facilitate the user’s real-time understanding of their own water use.
Abnormal alarm: can monitor the status of water in real time, when there is abnormal water consumption, pipeline leakage, low battery power, can automatically send an alarm signal to remind users and relevant departments to deal with it in time, helping to reduce water waste and equipment damage.
Low power consumption and long life
Low-power design: The use of advanced low-power technology, under the premise of ensuring normal measurement and communication functions, less power consumption. Usually a lithium battery can meet the operation needs of the water meter for many years, such as the common use of more than 6 years, reducing the frequency and cost of battery replacement.
No mechanical wear: there are no mechanical rotating parts inside, such as impeller, gear, etc., to avoid failure and performance degradation caused by mechanical friction and wear, thereby extending the service life of the water meter and reducing the cost and frequency of replacing the water meter.
Easy installation and maintenance
Low installation requirements: The requirements for the installation environment are relatively low, there is no need to strictly require the length of the straight pipe section like the mechanical water meter, and it can be easily installed in some places with limited space or complex pipeline layout. The external clamped ultrasonic water meter does not even need to cut or modify the pipeline, and can be installed directly on the outside of the pipeline.
Low maintenance cost: Because there is no mechanical component wear, and the reliability of electronic components is high, the maintenance workload is small and the maintenance cost is low. It is not necessary to regularly disassemble, clean, calibrate and other maintenance operations on the water meter, but only to check the running status and battery level of the water meter regularly.
Environmental protection and hygiene
No secondary pollution: in the measurement process, there will be no pollution to the measured body, nor will there be any substance dissolved into the water, to ensure the quality and health of the water, especially suitable for places with high water quality requirements, such as drinking water measurement.
Meet environmental requirements: Low power consumption design reduces energy consumption, no mechanical parts also avoid pollutants such as metal debris caused by mechanical wear, in line with environmental protection concepts and requirements.
