Next-Generation Ultrasonic Smart Water Meters Empower Refined Global Smart Water Management

As the digital transformation of smart water management accelerates worldwide, reducing network leakage, improving metering reliability, and enabling flexible equipment operation and maintenance have become key priorities for water utilities at home and abroad. Traditional mechanical water meters are limited by impeller and gear structures and are prone to wear, jamming, accuracy degradation, and under-registration of small flows during long-term operation. In underground meter chambers, high-temperature and high-humidity environments, and complex overseas project conditions, maintenance pressure is significant. Our ultrasonic smart water meters are built on a solid-state transit-time metering architecture that balances metering performance, environmental adaptability, and project customization capability, providing reliable metering terminals for municipal water supply, industrial parks, and overseas water projects.

This series of ultrasonic water meters adopts the ultrasonic transit-time metering principle and contains no moving parts such as gears or impellers, completely avoiding accuracy drift and failures caused by mechanical wear. The products feature a low starting flow and can accurately identify micro-leakage water use, providing reliable and effective baseline data for DMA district leakage analysis and helping water utilities identify hidden leakage points in distribution networks.

In terms of communication and functional configuration, the products support multiple mainstream communication methods such as LoRaWAN, M-BUS, and RS485, and can adapt to overseas frequency bands including AU915 and EU868, enabling remote reading of flow, battery voltage, fault alarms, and other information. They support platform-based remote valve control to meet business requirements such as prepaid management, valve closure for arrears, and abnormal water use alarms. At the same time, they address on-site maintenance needs. High-performance lithium thionyl chloride batteries are supplied as standard, offering ultra-long service life and adapting to procurement habits in different regions.

At the hardware level, the entire unit features IP68 high protection rating, and the circuit board is coated with conformal three-proof coating, allowing stable long-term operation in harsh conditions such as humid meter chambers and outdoor high and low temperatures. The meter body is available in copper alloy and plastic housing options, covering the full DN15–DN150 range, with both small-diameter residential meters and large-diameter network meters available. The products have obtained international certifications such as OIML and CE, support standard protocols such as DLMS, and can connect to third-party water management platforms. Customized development services are also available, including infrared parameter configuration, OTA remote upgrades, and customizable alarm thresholds.

Application Scenarios

Domestic market: urban old network renovation, DMA district metering, commercial buildings, industrial parks, and water metering projects for university dormitories.

Overseas market: municipal water tenders, township water supply, and overseas PPP water supply projects in Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

In response to the diverse project requirements of water markets at home and abroad, the company takes product reliability as its core and can make customized adjustments to structure, batteries, communication, and protocols for customer projects. In the future, the company will continue to deepen its expertise in ultrasonic flow metering technology, refine highly stable smart water meter products, and work with water partners at home and abroad to steadily advance smart water management toward greater refinement and digitalization.
