Ultrasonic intelligent water meter promotes high-quality development of the water supply industry
I. What is a water meter
A water meter is an instrument used to measure water flow, originating in the UK. The development of water meters has a history of nearly two hundred years.
In modern society, water meters have their presence in water supply and drainage, as well as in the measurement of water resources.
Smart water meters are emerging smart water meters under modern technology. Compared with traditional mechanical water meters, their own measuring performance and other extended functions provide us with greater convenience in management, becoming an important cornerstone of data analysis in the era of modern smart water management.
II. Fighter in Water Meter - Smart Water Meter
At present, there are mainly two types of smart water meter products collectively referred to in the market. The first type refers to electronic remote water meters that are equipped with various electronic devices on mechanical water meters. The second type refers to ultrasonic water meters, electromagnetic water meters, etc. that can come with functions such as remote data transmission and valve control. In fact, the first type can only be considered as the intelligent evolution of mechanical water meters, and is not a true intelligent water meter.
A true smart water meter, also known as an electronic water meter, refers to a water meter with a flow sensing part that does not include mechanical moving parts, an ultrasonic water meter using the measurement time difference principle, and an electromagnetic water meter using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. It has the characteristics of high measurement accuracy, wide measurement range, long service life, and stability.
Compared with traditional mechanical water meters, it has changed the problem of difficult correction of error curves in mechanical water meters and solved the problem of wear and tear in long-term applications. The most representative product among them is the ultrasonic water meter, which has particularly obvious advantages in wide range ratio, low power consumption, high measurement accuracy, long service life and stability.
III. Ultrasonic intelligent water meter
Ultrasonic smart water meter is a new type of water meter that analyzes, processes, and calculates the water flow rate by detecting the time difference caused by the change in velocity of the ultrasonic beam due to the influence of water flow when it propagates upstream and downstream in water. Its main features are: no moving parts in the measuring pipe section, low pressure loss, high range ratio, and wide measurement range. It can have its own signal output, overcoming the problem of converting measurement data output. It has inherent advantages in intelligence compared to mechanical water meters, and can more conveniently complete functions such as data remote transmission and prepaid automatic switch valves.
