Overview

Why buyers choose it

  • Half the starting flow

    15 litres an hour at DN15 against the class B meter's 30, so less passes before counting begins.

  • Where the losses actually are

    A weeping cistern runs below a class B meter's threshold all night, every night, and never appears on a bill.

  • Liquid sealed register

    The number wheels stay legible, which is what stops a meter being estimated instead of read.

  • Same body, better class

    It fits where the class B meter fits, so improving a scheme's accuracy is not a pipework job.

In detail

This is the accuracy class C meter in the single-jet range, and the class is the whole point of it. At DN15 it registers from 15 litres an hour where the class B meter in the same body starts at 30 — so half as much water passes unmeasured before the meter begins to count.

On a single house that difference is small. Across a society of two hundred flats, each with a cistern valve that weeps, it is the difference between a bulk meter that reconciles against the sum of the sub-meters and one that does not. Unaccounted-for water is mostly not theft; it is thousands of hours of flow below the starting threshold of the meters that were installed.

The register is liquid sealed, which keeps the wheels legible, and the meter covers DN15 and DN20 with nominal flows of 1.5 and 2.5 m³/h.

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

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

  2. Register

    Totalises and displays the water passed.

    Register type Single jet, semi-liquid sealed dial

  3. Register seal

    Seals the register housing against water ingress.

  4. Measuring chamber

    Directs the single tangential jet onto the impeller.

  5. Impeller

    Turns with the jet of water and drives the register.

  6. Strainer

    Screens out grit and debris before the measuring element.

  7. Body

    Houses the measuring element and carries the flow.

    Body material Brass, painted or nickel coated

  8. Tailpieces / connections

    Threaded couplings that join the meter to the pipework.
