Overview

Why buyers choose it

  • Sized for the trunk main

    DN50 to DN300 with permanent flow to 600 m³/h, which is where a works intake or a district's incoming main sits.

  • Removable measuring element

    Re-verification takes the element, not the body, so the main stays where it was laid.

  • Built for a chamber

    The cast iron body takes the weight of a flanged connection and the knocks of a buried installation.

  • Register reads from any angle

    The dial rotates a full 360°, so the meter is set to suit the pipe rather than the hatch.

In detail

The cast iron Woltman covers the sizes above where a brass body stops being practical — DN50 through DN300, with permanent flow up to 600 m³/h. It is the meter for a trunk main or a works intake, where the meter sits in a chamber and is expected to stay there for a decade.

A cast iron body is chosen for the reason it has always been chosen on buried work: it takes the mechanical abuse of a chamber, the weight of the flanged connection and the occasional water hammer without deforming. The measuring element lifts out separately, so the periodic re-verification a utility owes its regulator does not mean cutting the body out of the main.

This meter is declared to the 1993 edition of ISO 4064, in accuracy class B rather than the class 1 and 2 of the current edition. That matters when a tender specifies the current standard: the two classifications are not interchangeable and the declared figures should be read as the edition states them.

Illustrative: how a meter of this type is built. This model's own materials and figures are in the table and its specifications.
  1. Register cover

    Caps the register and keeps water and debris off the dial.

  2. Register

    Totalises and displays the water passed.

    Register type Dry dial, magnetically driven

  3. Register seal

    Seals the register housing against water ingress.

  4. Chamber cover

    Bolted cover giving access to the measuring element inside the body.

  5. Helical-vane rotor

    Spins with the flow along its helical vanes and drives the register through a gear train.

  6. Body

    Flanged cast body that houses the rotor and carries the flow.

    Body material Cast iron

  7. Flange gaskets and bolts

    Seal and secure the flanged joints to the pipeline.
