Battery powered ultrasonic water meters

Our battery powered ultrasonic water meters use an optical probe to connect the ultrasonic water meter to a laptop, reading measured data from internal memory. The FLOMIC series battery powered ultrasonic water meters have been developed to meet the specific requirements of water-supply network operators. The meters can be advantageously applied in situations where the customer, apart from simple and reliable measurements of water flow rate, pressure and water consumption, wishes to monitor leaks in the water distribution network and subsequently process the measured data using their own firmware.

Measurement method

The FLOMIC series ultrasonic water meters perform measurements using a flight-time method, where the flow rate data are derived from the difference between the ultrasonic wave travel times in and against the water flow direction. The characteristic properties of the meters include the high precision and long-term stability of measurements over a wide range of measured values.

The meters do not need any external power source, have no moveable mechanical parts and have very low hydraulic losses. In comparison with mechanical meters, the maintenance requirements are negligible. The battery-power feature makes these meters applicable at remote locations where line power is not available.

Main advantages:

• High precision measurements
• Long-term stability over a wide range of measured values
• High operational reliability and minimum maintenance requirements (maintenance-free meters)
• Compared to mechanical meters, very low hydraulic losses
• Easy data reading, storage and evaluation/processing
• Identification of leaks in water distribution systems
• Installation at locations where no external power sources are available
• Measured data transfer to remote control stations
