Intrinsic factor affecting water meter measurement accuracy

The accuracy of water meter measurement is restricted by many factors, as follows:

In terms of quality, if the factory inspection is not strict or the problem is not properly handled, the water meter will have inherent measurement risks; if there is a lack of regular maintenance and repair during use, the friction resistance of mechanical parts will increase due to wear and deviation, and the measurement error will also increase accordingly.

Improper selection also has a significant impact. If the water meter is not scientifically selected based on the actual water consumption and flow range, the water meter caliber is too large, and a measurement blind spot is likely to occur at a small flow rate, resulting in some water consumption not being recorded; if the caliber is too small, the water meter will be overloaded for a long time, accelerating gear wear and reducing measurement accuracy.

The structure and material of the water meter should not be ignored. The volumetric water meter has strict requirements on water quality, and poor water quality can easily affect its normal operation; although the velocity water meter has strong adaptability to water quality, the friction generated by its own structure will cause mechanical energy loss and interfere with measurement. In addition, the performance differences of the materials of the components will also directly affect the overall performance of the water meter.

The assembly link is also critical. Improper tightness of the cover will cause many problems. If it is too loose, it will easily cause water leakage, while if it is too tight, the upper and lower clamps will be deformed, causing poor gear meshing, which is especially prominent for small flow metering.
