1、 What is a water meter
A water meter is an instrument used to measure water flow, originating in the UK. The development of water meters has a history of nearly 200 years.
In modern society, water meters have their presence in water supply and drainage, as well as in the measurement of water resources.
Intelligent water meters are emerging smart water meters under modern technology. Compared to traditional mechanical water meters, their inherent metrological performance and other extended functions provide greater convenience for our management, becoming an important cornerstone of data analysis in the era of modern smart water.

2、 Fighter in Water Meters - Intelligent Water Meters
At present, there are two main types of intelligent water meter products on the market. The first type refers to electronic remote water meters equipped with various electronic devices on mechanical water meters. The second type refers to ultrasonic water meters, electromagnetic water meters, etc. that can have built-in functions such as remote data transmission and valve control. In fact, the first type can only be considered as the intelligent evolution of mechanical water meters, not truly intelligent water meters.
A true intelligent water meter, also known as an electronic water meter, refers to a water meter with a flow sensing part that does not contain mechanical moving components. Ultrasonic water meters based on the principle of measurement time difference method and electromagnetic water meters based on Faraday's electromagnetic induction law have characteristics such as high measurement accuracy, wide measurement range, long service life, and stability.
Compared with traditional mechanical water meters, it has changed the problem of difficult calibration of error curves in mechanical water meters and solved the problem of wear and tear in long-term applications. The most representative product among them is the ultrasonic water meter, which has obvious advantages in various aspects such as wide range ratio, low power consumption, high measurement accuracy, long service life, and stability.

3、 Ultrasonic intelligent water meter
Ultrasonic intelligent water meter is a new type of water meter that analyzes, processes, and calculates the effluent flow rate by detecting the time difference caused by the velocity change of the ultrasonic beam when it propagates along and against the current in water due to the influence of water flow. Its main characteristics are: no moving parts in the measurement pipe section, low pressure loss, high range ratio, and wide measurement range. It can come with its own signal output, overcoming the problem of measuring data output conversion. Compared to mechanical water meters, it has inherent advantages in intelligence and can more conveniently complete functions such as data remote transmission and prepaid automatic on-off valves.
