The difference between the ultrasonic water meter and the mechanical water meter
As new smart water meters begin to flood the market and begin to enter people's lives, one of them, the ultrasonic water meter, has played an important role in many industries, chemical plants, and farmland irrigation, especially in terms of measurement. , with the characteristics of low power consumption and high metering, it occupies an important position in the market.
What is the difference between an ultrasonic water meter and a mechanical water meter? Some people think that the use of mechanical water meters is not bad, but from a long-term perspective, under the same conditions, it is obvious that the advantages of ultrasonic water meters are unique. Let's take a look at the difference between ultrasonic water meters and mechanical water meters.
Ultrasonic water meter:
1. There are no moving parts inside, which will not cause wear and tear, which can keep the measurement accuracy for a long time;
2. The starting flow is small, the range ratio is wide, and the measurement range is large;
3. There are warnings for abnormal situations such as preventing unauthorized dismantling, preventing pipe bursts behind the watch, and preventing water leakage;
4. The pipe section is mainly made of brass or stainless steel, so that the ultrasonic water meter will not be rusted after long-term use, and will not cause secondary pollution to the water quality;
5. It is equipped with an enhanced waterproof protection design, the overall protection level is higher than IP67, and it can even be immersed and used in water in a short period of time;
6. The overall circuit is designed with low power consumption, and the service life of the battery is as long as 10 years, which also makes the service life of the ultrasonic water meter longer.
Mechanical water meter:
1. Internal wear and tear, the internal transmission device of the mechanical water meter will wear out after a long time of work, resulting in a large error in the measurement accuracy, and the longer the use time, the lower the measurement accuracy;
2. The internal material is mainly cast iron, which will cause secondary pollution to the water quality after wear;
3. It is impossible to prevent unauthorized disassembly, and it is impossible to warn of accidents such as water leakage;
4. The starting flow is relatively large, the range ratio is small, and the measurement error will be relatively large.
