Factors which affect accuracy of water meters

Do you know what factors affect the measurement of smart water meters, and what should water meter users do?

The choice of smart water meter caliber is the premise. The caliber of the water meter should be selected according to the water consumption of the water users. It is advisable that the water consumption is close to the common flow rate of the selected caliber, and avoid too large or too small. If it is small, the water meter will be overloaded, and the gears will be easily worn, which will affect the measurement accuracy.

The installation of smart water meters should not be underestimated. The installation of the water meter should be installed in strict accordance with the standard. The installation location should be strictly prohibited from being close to septic tanks, sewers and other places that are prone to sewage pollution, as well as places with large vibrations such as roads, and the water meter well drains smoothly and is not easy to get wet.

Regular replacement of smart water meters is the key point. After the water meter has been used for a period of time, due to the influence of uncertain factors such as the environment, pollution, water quality, water consumption, and pressure fluctuations, the movement of the water meter will be worn and the gap will increase, resulting in a decrease in measurement accuracy and even an increase in error. Table is an important means to solve this problem. The use time of household water meters is 6 years, and the use time of industrial water meters is 4 years.
