Working principles and advantages of ultrasonic water meters

As a new technology water meter, ultrasonic is more attractive  than mechanical water meters. More and more people choose to replace mechanical water meters with ultrasonic water meters. We suppose it will be the new trend in the following years, and we believe that ultrasonic water meters will gain a huge market in the future. Here are the working principles and advantages of ultrasonic water meters for your reference.

Ultrasonic Water Meter Working Principle

 Ultrasonic water meter is a new type of water meter that detects the time difference caused by the change of velocity when the ultrasonic beam propagates in the opposite direction of the water, and analyzes and processes the flow rate of water to further calculate the flow of water.

 The ultrasonic principle-based measuring technology is undoubtedly one of the most reliable technologies within static metering. No moving parts ensure pinpoint accuracy without any maintenance efforts and costs.

Features

l Material: Brass material/Ductile iron;

l Small size:DN15-DN40mm and Big size:DN50-DN300mm;

l High range ratio(Q3/Q1 ): R200/R250 / R400 (Optional);

l Forward and reverse measurement ;

l Digital display ;

l Suitable for domestic use and industrial/irrigation projects, etc.

Advantages

l Measures extreme low start flow, dropped water could be measured ;

l Multi-type data transmissions support, such as Pulse, RS485, and GPRS ;

l Multi-data display,multi-mode support;

l Long-time data storage, convenient for data analysis;

l Resistant to dirt and any magnetic field;

l Minimal operations cost, no mechanical parts that wear out easily, hence no loss of accuracy over its lifetime ;

l Flexible Installation conditions: horizontal, vertical, or angular, only require the measured liquid is homogeneous, and full pipe flow.

Multi combinations are available

For Small size DN15-40mm:

1. Ultrasonic water meter wired type with RS485 cable (Modbus protocol): realize wired remote data reading.

2. Ultrasonic water meter wireless type with LoRa module: realize the wireless remote data reading.

3.Ultrasonic water meter wireless type with NB-IoT communication protocols.

For Big size DN50-DN300mm

1. Ultrasonic water meter with Pulse output: realize wired remote data reading;

2. Ultrasonic water meter with RS485 cable (Modbus protocol): realize wired remote data reading;

3. Ultrasonic water meter+ GPRS RTU+Management platform: realize the wireless remote data reading;

4. Ultrasonic water meter +GPRS RTU+Pressure Sensor+Management platform: realize the wireless remote data reading, also the pressure monitoring.
