Water Meters

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Generally water meters are provided to measure the volume of water used by residential and commercial buildings that are supplied with water by a public water supply system. Water meters are also used at a water source to determine flow through a particular portion of the system.

Velocity meters are further divided into four categories: Electromagnetic and Ultrasonic Meters. Using magnetic fields or sound waves to measure water flow.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Electromagnetic Meters” tab_id=”1636443684505-33401ec3-3041″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Magnetic flowmeters use Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction to determine the flow of liquid in a pipe. In a magnetic flowmeter, a magnetic field is generated and channeled into the liquid flowing through the pipe. Following Faraday’s Law, flow of a conductive liquid through the magnetic field will cause a voltage signal to be sensed by electrodes located on the flow tube walls. When the fluid moves faster, more voltage is generated. Faraday’s Law states that the voltage generated is proportional to the movement of the flowing liquid. The electronic transmitter processes the voltage signal to determine liquid flow.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Ultrasonic Meters” tab_id=”1636444551463-70204735-4081″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]An ultrasonic flow meter (non-intrusive Doppler flow meters) is a volumetric flow meter which requires particulates or bubbles in the flow. Ultrasonic meters are ideal for wastewater applications or any dirty liquid which is conductive or water based.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
