DN50 Rotary Water Meter (50mm Caliber) A mechanical velocity-type water meter is mainly engineered for low-flow water measurement in residential and commercial settings. Its operational principle relies on water flow propelling an impeller (rotor) to rotate, with the number of rotations transformed into water usage (cubic meters/m³) via a gear transmission system. It is characterized by a straightforward design, consistent metering precision, and affordable cost.
High Accuracy: minimal error, stable performance.
Pressure Resistance: Withstands ≥1.0 MPa, suitable for standard pipelines.
Easy Installation: Threaded connections (G3/4″ or BSP), fits household pipes.
Cost-Effective: No power needed, maintenance-free, service life ≥6 years (regular verification required).
