SENSUS WATER METER INSTALLATION INSTALL
If there is potential contamination in the water flow, you should install the Sensus WP-F dirt box strainer to help protect the meter.Ensure all mating pipework has been flushed of dirt and debris prior to bringing the meter on line.We suggest you contact our team to select a correct air release valve to ensure air is released prior to the meter to avoid excessive wear becoming an issue.If the meter is dry during stationary conditions, large volumes of air passing through the meter on pump start can cause excessive wear on the meter and inaccuracy in the totaliser.If in doubt, ensure you install combination air valves close to the meter to avoid entrapped air. Entrapped air can cause issues with meter accuracy.

The wear is also dependent on the water quality passing through the meter.
The maximum ranges should be avoided where practical, as operation at high flows can cause excessive wear in the meter over long periods. Q4 : This is the maximum short burst flow rate suggested for the meter to operate within the optimum accuracy range. Q3 : This is the maximum continuous flow rate suggested for the meter to operate within the optimum accuracy range. Q1 : This is the minimum flow rate suggested for the meter to operate within the optimum accuracy range. When looking at the product data sheet, it’s important to understand the relevant metering terminology: The high quality turbine meter is essential within these projects, and needs to be installed in accordance with government requirements, relevant standards, certifications, and approvals in addition to the manufacturer’s recommendations and project requirements. The Sensus WP-Dynamic water meter is NMI pattern approved in Australia for inclusion in non-urban water installations.
