Rotary Mechanical Water Meter LXS-50 BRASS

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.

Structure & Working Principle

Components:

  • Main Housing: Brass casting or technical polymer (compliant with drinking water standards).
  • Impeller (Rotor): Rotates at a speed proportional to flow velocity.
  • Gear Transmission System: Translates rotations into mechanical readings.
  • Register: Displays accumulated volume via mechanical dial with pointers.

Working Principle

Water flow sets the impeller in motion, and its rotation is transferred through magnetic coupling or gear mechanism to the counter.

Features

  • Precise Measurement: Negligible error with stable performance.
  • Pressure Resistance: Rated for ≥1.0 MPa, compatible with standard pipe networks.
  • Easy Installation: Threaded fittings (G3/4″ or BSP threads) suitable for domestic plumbing.
  • Cost-Efficient: Requires no external power, low maintenance, operational life of ≥6 years (regular calibration recommended).

Applications

  • Residential Use: Apartments and household water supply systems.
  • Commercial Buildings: Shops, offices, and schools with low flow requirements.
  • Public Facilities: Public restrooms and water fountains.

Installation & Maintenance

  • Mounting Orientation: Horizontal installation with display facing upwards; align arrow with flow direction.
  • Straight Pipe Requirement: Upstream ≥10 pipe diameters, downstream ≥5 pipe diameters; keep elbows and valves away from the meter.
  • Protection Measures: Insulate during freezing temperatures; shield from vibrations and magnetic fields (e.g., motors).
