Overview

Why buyers choose it

  • Fewest parts

    Direct drive with no magnetic coupling, so there is less in it to go wrong and less to pay for.

  • Honest about the trade

    A wet dial costs less and clouds sooner; on clean water read often, that is the right economics.

  • Standard connections

    It fits the same tails as the dry dial meters, so a scheme can mix them without mixing fittings.

  • Class B declared

    The accuracy is stated to the edition it was tested against rather than implied.

In detail

A wet dial sits in the water and is driven directly by the impeller spindle. There is no magnetic coupling and no sealed chamber, which makes it the least expensive meter in the range and the one with fewest parts to fail.

The trade is legibility over time. A wet register is in contact with whatever the supply carries, so on hard or turbid water the wheels silt and the glass clouds, and the meter that reads perfectly at commissioning can be difficult to read in its fifth year. Where the water is clean and the meter is read often, that is a fair trade; where it is not, the dry dial single-jet is the meter that stays readable.

It covers DN15 to DN25 at nominal flows of 1.5 to 3.5 m³/h, declared to ISO 4064:1993 in accuracy class B.

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, wet 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.
