Meter Selection
Ultrasonic Water Meters
Ultrasonic and inline water meters for measuring water flow in a variety of piping materials. Essential for manufacturing — main incoming water, sewer discharge, ingredient water, cooling tower water, and sanitation. Implementing industrial water meters enables precise tracking of water consumption, facilitating rapid identification of leaks, wastage, and inefficiencies within production processes.

Why It Matters
Accurate water metering is critical for industrial manufacturing facilities aiming to enhance operational efficiency, reduce utility expenses, and promote sustainable water use. By investing in water metering technology, manufacturers gain valuable insights into water usage patterns, enabling proactive management, accurate cost allocation, and improved compliance with environmental standards. Facilities benefit from reduced water consumption, minimized downtime, lower operational costs, and stronger sustainability credentials. In today's resource-conscious industrial landscape, water metering is a vital tool for optimizing resource management and achieving significant savings.
Key Selection Factors
- Flow rates: minimum, maximum, and typical usage patterns — proper sizing ensures accurate readings and optimal performance
- Pipe size and material (affects ultrasonic sensor coupling)
- Water quality — presence of debris, suspended solids, or contaminants (critical for meter type selection)
- Accuracy requirements and operating pressure/temperature
- Installation environment and maintenance accessibility
- Whether the application requires billing-grade vs. monitoring-grade accuracy
Meter Types
Installation Guidelines
- Water meter installations should be performed by qualified professionals or licensed plumbers for safety, accuracy, and code compliance
- Ensure adequate straight pipe lengths upstream and downstream for accuracy
- Follow manufacturer instructions regarding meter orientation
- Include isolation valves for easy maintenance or future servicing
- For electromagnetic meters, ensure proper grounding and shielding from electromagnetic noise
- Maintain proper upstream filtration or conditioning where water quality requires it
