Horizontal Woltmann water meter
The Horizontal Woltmann water meter is a high-precision, robust meter designed for measuring bulk flows of cold potable water in commercial, industrial, and distribution system monitoring applications. Here's a detailed core description:
1. Design and Construction: The meter is built with a horizontal axis propeller, which is characteristic of the Woltmann principle. It features a robust shroud and copper can register for long life and clear readability.
2. Material and Protection: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials, the meter body and cover are epoxy powder coated for protection in all environments. The head is designed with IP68 protection, ensuring it is safe from water and dust ingress.
3. Accuracy and Sensitivity: The meter exceeds Class B specification in forward direction and for sizes up to 150mm in reverse direction, offering extended low and high flow performance. It achieves a sensitivity class of U0D0, thanks to a new integrated stabilizer.
4. Temperature and Pressure Range: Suitable for water temperatures up to 50°C and a maximum working pressure of 16 Bar.
5. Versatile Flow Measurement: The meter is capable of measuring flow rates between 0.35 m³/h and 2000 m³/h, with various sizes available to cover different flow demands.
6. Bi-directional Flow Metering: Available in sizes up to 150mm, the meter aids network management and ensures accuracy in revenue billing applications with its reverse flow metering capability.
7. Durable and Long-Lasting*: The meter's design, with hard surface rotor bearings made of tungsten carbide and synthetic sapphire, ensures a longer wear life for optimum accuracy.
8. Ease of Installation and Maintenance: The meter is available in various lengths and connections to minimize installation costs. Its approved interchangeable mechanisms allow for easy maintenance without re-calibration.
9. Communication and Remote Reading: Pre-equipped with Cyble as a standard, the meter allows for communication and remote reading through Walk-by & Drive-By Systems, pulse output, and radio frequency LoRaWAN & Sigfox networks.
10. Hydraulic Balance: The special shape of the inlet and outlet bearing counteracts the natural hydraulic thrust applied on the propeller, preventing any downstream pivot wear and ensuring unmatched endurance capabilities.
In summary, the Horizontal Woltmann water meter is recognized for its robustness, reliability, and accuracy in water distribution applications. Its design, materials, and features make it a preferred choice for high reliability and accuracy in water flow measurement.
