STS Ultrasonic Water Meters Empower Smart Water Services
As the global development of smart water services continues to deepen, pipeline leakage control, improved metering accuracy and prepaid water meters have become core demands of the water industry. Traditional mechanical water meters are prone to wear, rapid accuracy degradation and missed recording of low flow rates, along with high operation and maintenance costs, making them ill-suited for complex working conditions in water projects worldwide. Featuring non-mechanical metering, standalone local charge control and robust environmental adaptability, the STS ultrasonic prepaid water meter stands out as a preferred metering device for new-generation smart water systems.
Adopting the advanced ultrasonic time-difference metering principle, the STS ultrasonic water meter has no moving mechanical parts such as impellers or gears. It fundamentally eliminates wear, jamming and accuracy drift. With a lower starting flow rate and superior accuracy, it can precisely capture tiny dripping water leakage.
The product applies the internationally accepted STS prepaid protocol and complies with IEC industry standards, supporting encrypted TOKEN for local top-up and billing. Its key advantage lies in fully standalone local charge control, which operates independently without relying on cloud networks. Even under offline conditions, it reliably performs functions including billing, low-balance alerts, valve shutoff upon arrears and tiered water price calculation. The data is secure and tamper-proof, suitable for overseas regions with poor network coverage as well as domestic underground meter pits with weak signals.
Two structural options are available: integrated and split types. Customizable functions include wireless communication, DLMS protocol, local OTA upgrades and configurable low-voltage alarm thresholds. The meter body comes standard in 57-3 copper, with high-grade 58/59 copper available on request. Plastic housing structures can be adjusted to meet project requirements. The whole unit achieves IP67 protection rating, and circuit boards are coated with three-proof paint, enabling long-term stable operation under wide-temperature, high-humidity and complex conditions with outstanding environmental resistance.
Application Scenarios
"Domestic": Water supply renovation of old residential communities, DMA zone metering, household prepaid pilot projects, independent water metering for parks and factories.
"Overseas": International water tender projects, PPP water supply projects and township prepaid water supply works in Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and other regions.
Going forward, the company will keep optimizing ultrasonic metering technology and intelligent control solutions. With customized, highly reliable smart water meters, we will support the high-quality digital, refined and intelligent development of smart water services at home and abroad.
