How ultrasonic water meters maintain accuracy for years
Modern ultrasonic water meters have become an integral part of water metering systems due to their high accuracy and durability. Unlike mechanical meters, ultrasonic technology ensures measurement stability for decades without loss of accuracy, regardless of water quality and operating conditions.
- No moving parts – Mechanical meters use rotating impellers that wear out and accumulate deposits, reducing accuracy. ADDRA ultrasonic meters operate by measuring the speed of sound waves in the water flow, eliminating mechanical wear and tear.
- High measurement sensitivity – Ultrasonic sensors detect water consumption with an accuracy of up to 1 liter per hour. This ensures reliable accounting of minimal flows, such as dripping water or slow consumption in heating systems.
- Resistance to contamination – Water quality can change due to impurities, rust, and scale. Mechanical meters often clog and require cleaning. ADDRA ultrasonic meters operate stably, as their measuring chamber contains no moving parts and is not affected by deposits.
- Automatic error compensation – Built-in algorithms adapt to changing flow conditions, such as turbulence or pressure fluctuations, ensuring consistently accurate data.
- Energy efficiency and longevity – ADDRA ultrasonic meters have low power consumption and can operate for up to 16 years without battery replacement, making them a reliable long-term solution.
With support for modern data transmission technologies (NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, WM-Bus), ADDRA water meters can transmit real-time information. This enables operators and users to:
- Monitor water consumption online;
- Receive automatic notifications about potential leaks or unauthorized tampering;
- Efficiently manage water resources, reducing operational costs and losses.
ADDRA ultrasonic water meters are used in residential and commercial buildings, hotels, industrial facilities, and water supply systems. Their accuracy, reliability, and integration with smart metering systems make them an optimal choice for modernizing water networks.
“Ultrasonic water meters are not just a modern solution but a technological standard of the future, allowing for precise water consumption accounting and preventing water losses,” say ADD GRUP experts.
