Single jet water meter is a type of water meter. With its advantages of simple structure, low cost, small size, light weight, high accuracy and easy maintenance and replacement, it has wide application prospects in specific occasions. However, when choosing to use a single jet water meter, comprehensive considerations need to be made based on specific water quality, flow field conditions, and usage requirements. Its main advantages are as follows:
Simple structure: Single jet water meters have the simplest structure among all water meter varieties. It eliminates complex components such as gear boxes and impeller boxes in multi-flow water meters, making the overall structure more compact.
Low cost: Due to its simple structure, the manufacturing cost of single jet water meters is relatively low, which can significantly reduce the overall cost for situations where a large number of water meters need to be installed.
Small size: The single jet water meter is smaller than other types of water meters, which makes it more flexible in installation and can adapt to more occasions with limited space.
Light weight: The lightweight feature makes the single jet water meter more convenient during transportation, installation and maintenance.
Although the structure of a single jet water meter is simple, its processing accuracy requirements are very high. For example, the processing accuracy of the water inlet and outlet holes of the watch case and the central screw hole of the inner hole need to reach very high standards to ensure the measurement accuracy of the water meter.
Single jet water meters usually use an internal error adjustment method. The error is adjusted by changing the angle of the adjustment plate under the counter. This adjustment method can more accurately control the metering accuracy of the water meter.
Single jet water meters have higher requirements on water quality and flow field, which limits their application scope to a certain extent. However, in situations where the water quality is good and the flow field is stable, the single jet water meter can take advantage of its high-precision measurement.
Due to its simple structure, small size and light weight, single jet water meters are also more convenient to maintain and replace. When a water meter malfunctions or requires calibration, it can be quickly disassembled, repaired or replaced.
