Based on requirements of water works companies who consider decreasingwater losses in their distribution systems one of the main economicindicators and concerns, ELIS PLZE a.s. developed (in 2003)
ultrasonicwater meters of the FLOMIC type series facilitating measurements of notonly water consumption but also instantaneous flow rate and waterpressure. These three parameters are used to
monitor and evaluate theconditions of the water supply networks and identify any water leaks.
The FLOMIC water meters had been designed using the state-of-the-artultrasonic technology including battery-powered hardware. The meterpower requirements are so low that an internal Li-battery
ensuresuninterrupted meter operation over the period of 6 to 8 years with theflow-rate measurements taken every second. This feature makes possibletracing of very fast flow rate changes under
guaranteed excellentdynamic properties of the meters installed in the water distributionnetwork.
Battery-powered ultrasonic water meters of the type series FLOMIC FL 102X (FL 1024 - compact version, FL 1025 -remote version) are intended for industrial and commercial applications in water
supply systems where they provide for measurement of instantaneous flow rate, pressure and consumption of water, as well as storage of the measured data. The meters utilize the principle of
different propagation speeds of ultrasonic signals if directed in and against the direction of water flow. Ultrasonic flow meters are noted for high accuracy and long-term parameter stability over
a wide range of measured flow values. The FLOMIC water meters do not need any external power source, no mowing parts and, compared to conventional meters, significantly lower hydraulic losses.
The electronic accessories of the water meters make possible measurement and display of instantaneous flow rate, pressure and total volume of water passed through the meter since it was reset last
time; the flow data measured at pre-set intervals can also be stored and communicated via optical interface to a portable PC where they can be retrieved. The FLOMIC water meters also include pulse
and current (4 to 20 mA) outputs.
