Stoppil - Mechanical Water Meter

Applications & Use Cases

• Measuring water consumption in food processing plants for utility management and cost allocation.
• Monitoring water usage for specific production lines or batch processes to ensure recipe accuracy and consistency.
• Tracking water input for cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems to optimise detergent and sanitiser usage.
• Assessing water discharge volumes for environmental compliance and wastewater management.

Typical Specifications

Typical flow rate range

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from 1 m³/h to 50 m³/h, depending on the pipe diameter.

Connection type

Units of this type typically feature flanged or threaded connections, commonly ranging from DN50 to DN200.

Maximum operating temperature

Hot/cold water meters are generally rated for temperatures from 0°C up to 90°C or 130°C for specific hot water models.

Maximum operating pressure

Typically, these meters are designed to operate safely up to 10 bar or 16 bar.

Meter body material

Commonly, the body is constructed from cast iron, brass, or stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.

Measurement principle

Mechanical water meters typically use a multi-jet or single-jet turbine mechanism to measure flow.
