Water Distribution District Metering

District metering and pressure management for distribution networks, where night flow and peak demand differ by an order of magnitude.

The problem at this measuring point

A meter sized for peak demand cannot resolve night flow, so leaks disappear into the measurement noise. Battery-powered loggers add another maintenance cycle, and pressure surges shorten the life of anything installed without a damping chamber.

How we choose the principle

If the process is Use this principle
Ductile iron or steel main, full pipe, clean water Electromagnetic flow meter sized on night flow, not peak
Retrofit in a chamber without cutting the pipe Clamp-on ultrasonic on a sound pipe wall
Small branch main with a low continuous flow Turbine meter with a wide turndown
Pressure management and surge visibility Pressure transmitter at the critical point with a 4-20 mA output

Scope of supply

Aumeascon supplies the meter or logger, the sensor cable and the pressure transmitter. The site provides the chamber, the isolation valves and the telemetry SIM or gateway. Chamber construction and valve installation are outside the supply.

District metering turns a network into a set of numbers you can act on. The hard part is flow range: night flow is a fraction of peak demand, and the same meter has to be accurate at both ends.

Content plan — this package

  • Site photographs: one or two photographs of an installation of this package, so the mounting and the pipework are visible before the visit.
  • Measured results and case data: what the readings were before and after commissioning, and the permit or report the measurement now feeds.
  • The commissioning checklist: what the site prepares, what is checked on the day and what the handover record contains.
