Propeller Water Meters

•The MeterVault® Propeller Water Meter is designed for measuring potable and non-potable cold water for irrigation in agriculture and turf applications, water and wastewater treatment in municipal and industrial applications. The propeller meter is an economical and versatile flow measurement solution for a wide range of water flows and applications, and can even be used on dirty water flows. Propeller water meters are available from 2″ to 120″ diameter.

Bi-directional flow

A propeller meter works by fluid flowing through a pipe and turning a propeller. Those turns, or revolutions, equate to flow rate and volume over time. The speed of the propeller revolutions correlated with the inside diameter of the pipe, calculating flow rate and totalization. Totalization and flow rate are indicated on a meter’s register.

Propeller meters use the velocity measuring principle to capture accurate measurements in applications that experience large volume and wide fluctuations in water demands. Some propeller meter models can be inserted into existing pipelines.
