Our E-Series® Ultrasonic water meters use high-frequency sound waves to measure flow. With no moving parts, these meters are resistant to the wear-and-tear problems common with mechanical meters.
To understand the benefits of ultrasonic technology, consider the science behind it: Ultrasonic signals are sent consecutively, with and against the flow of water via sensors as water enters the measuring tube. By measuring the time it takes for the ultrasonic signals to travel between the two sensors, the meter can accurately determine the flow rate of water. Total volume is calculated from the measured flow velocity using temperature and pipe diameter. Because ultrasonic meters measure velocity of acoustically conductive water as it flows through the meter, accuracy is ensured even in low-volume scenarios.
As a former water utility director, Eric Larson, Utility Solutions Manager at Badger Meter, shares the value that ultrasonic technology can deliver to utilities of all sizes, and what utilities should ask a meter provider before entering a partnership.
