Water Meter | An instrument designed to measure, memorise and display the volume at metering conditions of water passing through the measurement transducer. |
Minimum Flowrate (Q1) | The lowest flowrate at which the water meter provides indications that satisfy the requirements concerning the maximum permissible errors (MPEs.) |
Transitional Flowrate (Q2) | The transitional flowrate is the flowrate value occurring between the permanent and minimum flowrates, at which the flowrate range is divided into two zones, the ‘upper zone’ and the ‘lower zone’. Each zone has a characteristic MPE. |
Permanent Flowrate (Q3) | The highest flowrate at which the water meter operates in a satisfactory manner under normal conditions of use, i.e. under steady or intermittent flow conditions. |
Overload Flowrate (Q4) | The overload flowrate is the highest flowrate at which the meter operates in a satisfactory manner for a short period of time without deteriorating. |
