Household water metres

Household

— metres designed for simple conditions of use — for example, accounting for water consumption in a residential apartment or house, where the consumption is low and high accuracy is not required. Accordingly, the throughput of such models is low: in most of them, the nominal flow rate (the highest allowable flow rate for continuous use) does not even reach 10 m³/h, models with rates up to 15 m³/h are extremely rare. In addition, household metres are generally simpler in design than industrial ones: in particular, almost all of them are made single-jet. It has a positive effect on the cost, but somewhat worsens the accuracy of measurements.
