How to choose the diameter of smart water meters for home use
What is Water Meter Diameter? The water meter diameter refers to the inner diameter of the part of the water meter that connects to the pipe; that is, the diameter of the channel through which water flows into the meter. The water meter's diameter directly determines the applicable pipe diameter and the flow rate it can measure. In household water meters, the diameter is usually related to the household's water consumption and the size of the piping system.
The common diameters of household smart water meters are as follows:
DN15: Nominal diameter of 15 mm, suitable for 4-point water pipes. This diameter water meter is small in size, easy to install, and suitable for households with low water consumption.
DN20: Nominal diameter of 20 mm, suitable for 6-point water pipes. This is one of the most widely used diameters in household water supply, meeting the daily water needs of most families.
DN25: Nominal diameter of 25 mm, suitable for 1-inch water pipes. This diameter water meter is suitable for households with slightly higher water consumption or those with higher flow rate requirements.
The choice of household smart water meter diameter should be determined based on the actual needs of the household and the pipe specifications. Common household smart water meter diameters are DN15, DN20, and DN25. Users can choose the appropriate water meter according to their household water consumption and pipe size. During installation and use, users should pay attention to the installation location and orientation of the water meter, as well as regular maintenance, to ensure accurate metering and long-term stable operation.
