Badger Meter has introduced next generation E-Series® Ultrasonic meters for commercial applications.
Badger Meter E-Series Ultrasonic meters are designed for high measurement accuracy and long-term reliability. With extended flow ranges, the new meters are ideal for measuring potable cold water in commercial and industrial applications that experience wide fluctuations in water demand. Smart alarms provide early detection for flow, temperature and pressure disturbances to help utilities proactively manage their water systems faster and more efficiently. The new E-Series Ultrasonic meters will also feature: open flow tube design; fully electronic meters with programmable registration and reporting features; long-term sustained accuracy within ± 1.5 percent and extended flow accuracy within ± 3 percent; meter alarms for empty pipe, exceeding max flow, reverse flow, leak, temperature, pressure and battery; fully submersible to withstand harsh environments; lead-free bronze alloy housing that complies with the lead-free requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act; and, compatibility with Badger Meter’s ORION® family of endpoints.
Unlike mechanical meters, ultrasonic meters use high-frequency sound waves to measure flows. This technology helps water utilities extend low flow accuracy to measure small volumes of water, as well as improve overall reliability.
