As metering accuracy becomes ever more essential to business performance, water utilities are exploring the latest metering technologies. Badger Meter now offers electronic E-Series Ultrasonic Meters that use ultrasonic transit time technology to calculate flow rate and total consumption.
The meters measure flow using high-frequency sound waves, according to John Fillinger, director of utility marketing. They are able to measure ultra-low flows, such as those caused by leaks in households or business establishments, so that when used in the context of an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), they can help utilities detect those leaks and alert property owners to make repairs.
