What is an Ultrasonic Water Meter?
I. Introduction to Ultrasonic Water Meters
An ultrasonic water meter is a new type of water meter that detects the time difference caused by the change in the speed of an ultrasonic beam as it propagates upstream and downstream through water. This information is analyzed and processed to determine the water velocity, which in turn calculates the flow rate. With excellent low-flow detection capabilities, it can address many of the issues faced by traditional water meters, making it more suitable for water fee tiered billing and promoting water resource conservation and rational utilization. It has a broad market and application prospects.
II. Advantages of Ultrasonic Water Meters
1. No Moving Parts: The meter body has no moving mechanical parts, reducing mechanical wear, ensuring long-term stable operation, and ensuring reliable and enduring metering accuracy.
2.High Turndown Ratio and Low Start-Up Flow Rate: With a turndown ratio of up to R250/R400 and a start-up flow rate as low as 2-3 liters/hour, it is suitable for a variety of flow measurement scenarios.
3. 3. Micro-power design: Low power consumption, battery life up to 6 years, reducing maintenance costs.
4. Multi-communication support: Supports multiple communication methods such as NB-IoT, GPRS, and LoRaWAN, and is equipped with an infrared communication mechanism to meet diverse data transmission needs.
5. Long-term data storage: Supports annual, monthly, and daily data storage, facilitating water use data analysis and decision-making.
6. Empty pipe alarm mechanism: After a long period of normal water use, an empty pipe status can be used as an abnormal removal alarm to enhance safety.
III. Application Scenarios of Ultrasonic Water Meters
1. Agricultural irrigation: Applicable to farmland irrigation systems to monitor irrigation water usage, optimize irrigation schedules, conserve water resources, and improve irrigation efficiency.
2. Commercial buildings: Applicable to industrial plant pipelines to monitor water usage, facilitate water management and control, and reduce water costs.
3. Public facilities: Applicable to public facilities such as parks, schools, and hospitals to record water usage, enabling managers to understand water usage conditions and ensure water safety.
4. Urban water supply management: It can be applied to urban water supply systems to monitor water use in various areas, help water departments manage and dispatch water use, and ensure urban water supply safety.
