What are the three types of water meters?
The three types of water meters are:
Velocity: Also known as a multi-jet meter, it measures water velocity in a specific direction, and the flow rate is calculated based on the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
Positive displacement: This type of meter is designed to measure water quantity based on a fixed volume of water with two chambers. As the water passes through these chambers, the motion created moves a component of the meter to calculate the water usage.
Compound: This type of meter is used when the volume of water used varies greatly during different times of day or during different seasons. It can measure both low-flow rates and high-flow rates and can be equipped with a tamper-proof design to prevent unauthorized access.
