What Are The Differences Between Dry And Wet Water Meters In Smart Water Meters

What are the differences between dry and wet water meters in smart water meters

With the popularization of "one household, one meter" and "tiered water pricing", IC card smart water meters without meter reading have become the choice of more and more water companies and property management companies. IC card smart water meters are divided into wet and dry meters, so which one is better?

Let's summarize the differences between dry and wet water meters:

1. Work environment

Wet water meters are immersed in water, while dry water meters are not immersed in water.

2. Does the gauge glass withstand water pressure

The glass of a wet water meter bears water pressure, while the glass of a dry water meter does not.

3. Transmission mode of mechanical sensors and counters for water meters

The transmission of wet water meters is gear linkage, while the transmission of dry water meters is magnetic steel transmission.

4. Basic structure

The basic structure of a wet water meter is the impeller (rotor), impeller box, gear box, counter, and all components are immersed in water. This type of water meter requires high anti-corrosion performance.

The basic structure of a dry water meter is the impeller (rotor) and impeller box in the water, which transmit data to the gear box and counter through a magnet. Therefore, this type of water meter is also called a "magnetic water meter".
