Rotary Mechanical Water Meter LXS-32BRASS

DN32 Rotary Water Meter (32mm Caliber) A mechanical velocity-type water meter is mainly engineered for measuring water in small-flow residential and commercial settings. Its operational principle relies on water flow propelling an impeller (rotor) to revolve, and the number of rotations is transformed into water usage (cubic meters/m³) via a gear transmission system. It boasts a straightforward design, consistent metering precision, and a budget-friendly cost.

Structure & Working Principle

Components Composition

  • Housing: Constructed from brass alloy or engineering plastic (compliant with potable water standards).
  • Impeller (Rotor): Undergoes rotational motion proportional to the flow velocity.
  • Gear Transmission Assembly: Facilitates conversion of rotational motion into mechanical counting signals.
  • Meter Register: Displays cumulative volumetric measurement via mechanical dials or pointer mechanisms.

Operational Principle

The water flow induces rotational movement of the impeller, with rotational dynamics transmitted to the counting mechanism through magnetic coupling or gear trains, enabling the conversion of flow-induced rotations into quantitative volumetric readings.

Applications

Households: Apartments, residential water supply.

Commercial: Shops, offices, schools with low flow demand.

Public Facilities: Restrooms, drinking fountains.

 Installation & Maintenance

Orientation: Mount horizontally, register facing up; arrow aligns with flow direction.

Straight Pipes: Upstream ≥10D, downstream ≥5D; avoid elbows/valves near meter.

Protection: Insulate in freezing conditions; shield from vibration/magnetic fields (e.g., motors).
