There are several types of water meters.
Water meters can be divided into 8 categories according to principle, level, nominal diameter, use, installation orientation, temperature, pressure, and form.
According to the principle of measurement and verification, it is a speed type and capacity type water meter.
According to the precise measurement standard: A-class meter, B-class meter, C-class meter, D-class meter, the larger the measuring range, the higher the precise measurement level.
According to nominal caliber: large caliber and small caliber.
According to the application of residential water meter and industrial water meter.

Upstream should ensure that 10 times the specifications above the receiver section, downstream should ensure that 5 times the specifications above the receiver section.
Installation should avoid exposure and freezing, environmental pollution and flooding, conducive to disassembly and reading, winter should be used to prevent cold countermeasures.
Engineering construction, pay attention to the maintenance of plastic hoses and wires, prohibit driving plastic hoses to transport the water table, in order to prevent the plastic hoses fall down or wire sheath cracked.
The newly installed pipeline should be cleaned thoroughly to remove impurities and prevent water meter blockage. When installing the water meter, pay attention to the length of the water meter connection. If the spacing between the two sides of the pipeline exceeds the water meter coupling length, is too short, or is not aligned with the centerline, the spacing should be adjusted in the middle of the pipeline; otherwise, it may damage the water meter pipe or result in an unsuccessful installation.
If the cold water table is installed on the inlet pipe of the heating furnace, it can prevent the heating furnace water and steam from flowing back and burning the water table.
