Overview

Why buyers choose it

  • Rated to 130 °C

    For lines hotter than the 90 °C at which standard hot-water meters stop.

  • Removable mechanism

    The measuring element comes out without cutting the body from the line.

  • Magnetically driven dry dial

    Vacuum sealed and unaffected by an external magnet, so it stays readable and is hard to tamper with.

  • Register turns 360°

    The dial can be rotated to face the reader in any installation.

In detail

Standard hot-water meters are rated to 90 °C. On industrial and commercial lines that carry water hotter than that, a standard meter is working outside its rating. This Woltman meter is rated for water up to 130 °C, in flanged sizes from DN40 to DN200 with permanent flows from 15 to 250 m³/h.

It is a velocity meter: a rotor set in line with the flow turns in proportion to the velocity, which keeps the head loss low at the high flows a bulk line carries. The measuring mechanism is removable, so it can be exchanged without taking the body out of the line. At DN100 the meter starts measuring at 1.8 m³/h and is rated for an overload flow of 120 m³/h.

The register is a vacuum-sealed dry dial, driven magnetically and unaffected by an external magnetic field, and it can be turned through 360° to face the reader wherever the meter sits. It reads to 999,999 m³, in steps of 0.001 m³ up to DN65 and 0.01 m³ from DN80. A pulse output is available as an option.

The meter is declared to ISO 4064 in accuracy class B, the classification of the 1993 edition, with limits of error of ±5% in the lower flow zone and ±2% above it, and it is rated for 16 bar. It is installed with the register facing upward and the flow following the arrow cast on the body, behind a strainer, with ten pipe diameters of straight run upstream and five downstream, and the pipe kept full of water.

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, vacuum sealed, magnetically driven, rotatable through 360°

  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.

  7. Flange gaskets and bolts

    Seal and secure the flanged joints to the pipeline.
