The water meter is one of the most critical metering devices in urban water supply systems, directly affecting the fairness of water usage billing and the economic efficiency of water supply companies. To ensure that the water meter maintains accurate measurement after long-term use, regular testing and calibration are necessary. The water meter test bench is the specialized equipment used to achieve this goal.

To ensure the accuracy of water meter measurements, specialized testing devices have been developed. Among them, the water meter test bench, as the core tool for testing water meter accuracy, plays a crucial and irreplaceable role. The fully automated water meter test bench developed by S.H.Meters is an advanced solution that meets this demand.

 

What are the features of S.H.Meters' water meter test bench?

 

The fully automated water meter test bench developed by S.H.Meters consists of a water source system, meter clamping pipeline, flow regulation device, standard meter system, diverter device, image acquisition system, and software control system.

 

  • The test bench can detect various models and flow ratio ranges of mechanical water meters and ultrasonic water meters.
  • Stable flow, high calibration accuracy
  • Uses a piston-type system, with a minimum flow rate as low as 2L/H
  • Wide image acquisition range, no need for precise alignment; as long as the meter dial pointer is within the captured image range, it can be recognized
  • Supports secondary calibration; after the test, the software automatically saves the initial and final value photos. If there is any dispute about the test results of a specific meter, the saved images can be queried for review.

  • It has many advantages, such as stability, reliability, good repeatability, high automation, and ease of operation, eliminating the drawbacks of traditional liquid flow standard devices, such as start-stop effects or diverter effects.

 

  • Supports personalized function customization

 

  • The software automatically generates test reports and allows customization of test report templates based on customer needs

Provides multiple data acquisition methods, including RS485, infrared, pulse, image, optical fiber, etc.

 

Why does S.H.Meters develop water meter test benches?

 

The independently developed test bench means that S.H.Meters has a comprehensive quality control capability, allowing for high-standard, traceable testing of every water meter that leaves the factory. The testing process is precise and efficient, reducing human errors and ensuring that each water meter delivers accurate measurements and operates stably over the long term. This significantly reduces losses or disputes caused by measurement errors.

 

In addition, S.H.Meters is committed to creating a one-stop solution that covers water meter design, manufacturing, and testing, streamlining the entire process from product development to factory quality inspection. Customers can achieve efficient coordination from equipment selection to delivery without having to deal with multiple suppliers. This not only significantly reduces communication and coordination costs but also helps shorten delivery cycles and improve overall project execution efficiency. Under this integrated service system, S.H.Meters can fully control product quality, ensure unified standards, and provide stable output, ultimately offering customers a worry-free, time-saving, and labor-saving comprehensive service experience.
