Stoppil - Mechanical Water Meter

• Precisely measuring water volume in dough mixing for consistent batch quality.
• Controlling water addition in food processing lines requiring accurate liquid dispensing.
• Monitoring water usage in industrial processes where precise volumetric control is essential.
• Integrating into automated systems for repeatable liquid ingredient delivery.

Typical flow rate

Mechanical water meters for industrial use typically handle flow rates from 2.5 m³/h up to 40 m³/h, depending on the model and pipe diameter.

Connection size

Common connection sizes for this class of equipment range from DN25 (1 inch) to DN80 (3 inch) flanged or threaded connections.

Temperature range

Units designed for hot/cold water typically operate within a range of 0°C to 90°C, suitable for various industrial applications.

Measurement accuracy

Mechanical water meters commonly offer accuracy levels of ±2% within their nominal flow range.

Materials of construction

The body is typically made from brass or cast iron, with internal components often featuring engineering plastics or stainless steel for durability.

Display type

Units of this type commonly feature a mechanical roller counter for cumulative volume readings, often with a rotating indicator for immediate flow visualisation.
