Which smart water meter is suitable for agricultural irrigation
Agricultural irrigation mainly refers to irrigation operations carried out on agricultural farming areas. Agricultural irrigation methods can generally be divided into traditional surface irrigation, ordinary sprinkler irrigation and micro-irrigation. As we all know, agricultural irrigation has always been a big water user, so how to efficiently use water resources is also a top priority. So, which of the smart water meters is most suitable for agricultural irrigation?
Agricultural irrigation is the lifeblood of the country's economy and a major water user. For a long time, due to ideological, capital, and technical reasons, there has been no good awareness of conservation and resource allocation methods in irrigation for a long time. Most places use mechanical water meters for measurement, so it is easy to cause waste of water resources and loss of farmers when pipeline damage cannot be detected in time; because mechanical water meters are mostly rotary-wing structures, they are likely to cause blockage and affect Water supply. However, the large-caliber ultrasonic water meter is different from the mechanical meter, because its structure is ultrasonic measurement, there is no mechanical part in the meter, so there is no blockage, and the ultrasonic water meter can determine the flow direction of the fluid, and can measure the positive and negative flow values in a distributed manner. It can measure flow velocity, cumulative flow, instantaneous flow, record working time and failure time and other parameters. Mechanical water meters cannot judge the reverse installation, which leads to measurement loss, provides opportunities for illegal water use, and can only measure the cumulative flow. Moreover, the initial flow rate of the ultrasonic water meter is low, which greatly reduces the leakage of the small flow rate of the mechanical water meter, and minimizes the loss of water metering. In addition, the ultrasonic water meter has low pressure loss and low power consumption, which reduces the energy consumption of water supply. Therefore, in agricultural irrigation, the most suitable smart water meter is the large-diameter ultrasonic water meter.
