Water meter

An Etatron water meter is a high-precision mechanical water meter produced by Etatron D.S. (Italy). This water volume meter line includes two main configurations: threaded connections from DN15 to DN40 and flanged connections from DN50 to DN150, to fit various line sizes. It measures cold water, hot water, and industrial process fluids. Unlike simpler meters, this water meter device uses a magnetic drive mechanism with dry or wet dial options and can integrate a Reed pulse emitter for automated monitoring.

PRODUCT FEATURES

  • Uses a magnetic drive mechanism to isolate the register counter from the fluid medium, increasing operational stability and durability.
  • Supports an optional Reed pulse transmitter to output flow signals directly to monitoring and automation systems such as BMS or SCADA, with preconfigured pulse-mounting locations for future expansion.
  • Features a dry dial register as standard to prevent clouding or fogging; wet dial options are available upon request.
  • Designed with a fully rotatable dial register for easy reading across various installation orientations and space constraints.
  • Delivers a low starting flow rate, wide measuring range, and low head loss, maintaining consistent accuracy during continuous operation.
  • Provides resistance against external magnetic interference in compliance with EN 14154-3 standards.
  • Built with a modular structure featuring a removable measuring element, simplifying routine inspection and maintenance.
  • Certified under CE and ISO 9001:2015 standards.

Note:

*: Space for measuring insert removal.

When selecting the appropriate water meter DN size and reviewing water meter dimensions, operators must evaluate both the continuous flow capacity (Q3) and the minimum flow threshold (Q1). This ensures accurate measurement during peak and off-peak conditions.

2. Operating principle and construction of Etatron water meters

Understanding how a water meter works in an industrial loop begins with its internal mechanism. Etatron units operate on the axial Woltman turbine principle. As water flows through the meter body, the fluid velocity drives an internal turbine wheel, converting flow speed into proportional rotational movement.

This rotational movement is magnetically coupled to the register mechanism. The register counter is sealed in a dry chamber isolated from water flow, keeping the dial clear and preventing condensation, clouding, or jamming from suspended solids and impurities.

For systems that require signal transmission, the water meter components include an integrated Reed-switch pulse transmitter. Each swept volume generates a discrete electrical pulse, allowing integration with data loggers, PLCs, or remote monitoring panels.

3. Advantages of Etatron flow measurement meters

Compared with standard meters, it is highly rated in industrial applications for operational stability, measurement accuracy, and flexibility in integration with distribution networks and SCADA systems.

  • Outstanding low-flow sensitivity, serving as an accurate water usage meter even at minimal flow thresholds.
  • Compared with narrower-range meters, it offers a wide dynamic measuring range, minimizing error margins under fluctuating flow rates as a reliable water consumption meter.
  • Compared with conventional designs, it delivers low head loss due to an optimized turbine profile, preventing noticeable pressure drops across the pipeline.
  • Stable magnetic drive mechanism that isolates internal register parts from fluid exposure, extending service life.
  • Supports Reed pulse integration to convert volumetric throughput into electrical signals for real-time process monitoring.
  • Flexible pulse weight options (e.g., 1, 10, 100, or 1000 liters per pulse) tailored to specific automation requirements.
  • Magnetic tampering protection meeting EN 14154-3, ensuring reliable operation as a volumetric water meter in high-interference industrial environments.
  • Compared with fixed-register designs, it allows easy inspection and maintenance via a rotatable dial face and modular, drop-in insert design.
  • Fully compliant with international standards, including CE and ISO 9001:2015, guaranteeing manufacturing quality and site reliability.

4. Certifications of Etatron water meter

Etatron units are manufactured and quality-controlled under strict international standards to meet demanding utility and industrial requirements, unlike non-certified products with less consistent oversight:

  • CE marking: Confirms compliance with European Union health, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility regulations.
  • ISO 9001:2015: Guarantees that design, manufacturing, and quality assurance processes operate under a recognized quality management system.
  • EN 14154 compliance: Validates metrological accuracy, mechanical durability, and resistance to external magnetic fields during operation.

5. Applications of industrial water meter

Compared with less robust meters, this water meter application scope spans multiple sectors and system types thanks to robust construction and stable performance under varying conditions:

  • Clean water management and distribution across municipal networks, industrial parks, and commercial facilities.
  • Boiler feed and heating loops, with high-temperature variants rated up to 130°C suitable for thermal fluid circulation and hot water monitoring.
  • Chemical manufacturing processes utilizing optional Teflon-lined bodies, enabling accurate measurement of aggressive or corrosive fluids where standard types of water meters fail.
