Water meters are the technical devices needed to measure the volume of water that passes through a pipeline. Currently, such devices are actively used to organize commercial metering of resource consumption both in various industries and in the utility sector. With their help, all the necessary indicators of the flow rate of wastewater, drinking and network water are recorded, as well as the recording of coolant data. Today, it is these technical devices that are the most relevant tool for accounting for expended resources.
If we talk about the variety of models presented on the modern domestic market, then all water meters can be divided into several main groups, depending on the principle of their action. Distinguish between ultrasonic, electromagnetic, vortex, turbine and vane devices. The last two are mechanical water meters and are one of the most common devices installed in communication with both hot and cold water. At the same time, the former are mounted on those highways where the temperature does not exceed 150 ° C, and the latter are used on highways with a temperature not exceeding 40 ° C. All other water meters are universal, if necessary, they can be used to measure the flow rate of absolutely any water.
In addition to the above classification, all technical devices of this kind can be divided into household and industrial. Water meters with diameters from fifteen to twenty-five millimeters are used to account for water consumption in apartments and private houses, and devices with diameters from twenty-five to four hundred millimeters are designed to record water consumption in large communal systems. In addition, all of the above devices can be divided according to the sign of power supply into volatile and non-volatile. The design of the latter includes a battery acting as the main power source, and the work of the former is based on connecting to an external power supply.
If we talk about installing water meters, it is best to entrust this procedure to qualified specialists. Only experienced craftsmen in a short time will be able to understand all the technical capabilities of a particular device (sensitivity limit, standard pressure, metering area, operating temperature and permissible losses). Self-installation of water meters, such as Betar water meters, may not entail the most pleasant consequences. For example, non-compliance with the
technical conditions of installation may result in a fine by the control service of the measuring devices. If the device is installed according to all the rules at the final stage, the specialist of the plumbing company will carry out the mandatory sealing procedure and issue an official document for the right to operate it.
