Question:

Why can the high level intelligent water meter be equipped with a check valve that can not prevent the water meter from idling?

Why can the high level intelligent water meter be equipped with a check valve that can not prevent the water meter from idling?

Answer:

The pressure fluctuations, because the water is a liquid, the physical characteristics shown in general is incompressible, but in the tap water pipe, pipe pressure is high, then the water will show some compressibility. In the tap water pipe, the pressure fluctuation is inevitable, and now we are using the water meter is a mechanical watch, in which water flow generated by the kinetic energy to drive gear, so as to achieve the purpose of water metering. When no water, the water pipe ends are connected in a certain amount of high pressure water are fixed; therefore, when the municipal pipe network pressure rises, the volume of tap water pipe after the table shrinks due to the increase of the pressure, this will have a trace of the water through the water meter, is generated; when the pressure is decreased, the table after the tube in the compressed water with low pressure and expansion, will also have a trace of the water through the water, the difference is this time reversal. As we all know, the general mechanical table in the water is in the drive gear, is turned upside down when the water is in progress under the drive gear reversal, the drag force of water phase is different, although the two head of the same amount of water, but reflected in the reading on the meter is very different. According to statistics, in the absence of air in the pipeline, the resulting water is very small, about 0.5-1m3/ months. Under normal circumstances, the water users will not pay attention to; at the same time, this is also the normal level of measurement results.
The cause of the rotationThe problem of water meter rotation is caused by many factors. In this paper, the characteristics of water supply network and the characteristics of the current water meter are analyzed, mainly for the following reasons:
The air sac causes a greater amount of rotation in this case. Production process of tap water enterprises are open construction, in the production process of water dissolved gas, at the same time in the construction process, the pipeline will be brought into the gas pipeline, if the exhaust valve is unreasonable, gas cannot be ruled out well. Thus, if the house does not use water for a long time, or the pipe design is unreasonable, the highest point or the starting point of the pipe in the house will have an air sac. As we all know, the compressibility of gases is very high. At this time, if there is pressure fluctuation on the pipe network, the space expansion in the pipeline will be very large, so the water meter will rotate more. According to statistics, the resulting water is less than 2-3 m3/ months, and more will produce dozens of cubic meters of water per month. According to the report statistics, the existing users reflect the water meter rotation of the phone 26, after field investigation and treatment found that because of the table after the airbag inside the house and the rotation of 21 households, accounting for 80.8%, after the pipeline leaking 5. Therefore, at present, most of the water meter produces rotation phenomenon, all because the back of the tube in the air bag caused.
