MH IP68

MH IP68 is a screw, dry Woltman type water meter with a vertical rotor axis. The meter body, installed on a stand, is adapted for assembly using a standardised connector to an underground hydrant. Given the exposure of the water meter to various atmospheric conditions in the open, the counting mechanism has been placed in a casing made of copper sheet, which is hermetically sealed at the top by rolling in mineral glass seated on a rubber gasket.

The device is compatible with clip-on communication modules for automatic wired or wireless meter reading. The water meter is designed and manufactured to the MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) and in compliance with EN14154, OIML R49 and ISO4064.

Application

The hydrant water meter is designed for local distribution and measurement of cold water consumption with a temperature of up to 50°C and a maximum allowable working pressure of 16 bar. The water meter can be used by water supply companies, construction and agricultural companies, as well as by individual users. The structure of the water meter stand allows for quick connection to an underground water network hydrant with a diameter of 80mm. The stand can be made in two material variants: aluminium for water intake for domestic purposes and acid-resistant steel for water intake for food purposes. The water meter outlet is equipped with a quick-disconnect nozzle of size 75T. The water meter performs excellently in challenging environmental conditions, and the rotating counter enables easy reading of the water meter readings in the appropriate working positions. The standard water meter version is designed for use with universal induction communication modules which feature

UTIP (Universal TI Plug).

Advantages

Convenient use:

  • The compact construction of the water meter along with the associated stand facilitates transport
  • The structure of the water meter stand allows for quick connection to an underground water network hydrant with a diameter of 80mm
  • The MH-08 water meter is adapted to work with universal inductive clip-on modules from #UTIP
  • Alarm output capability: the meter with a universal induction communication module is capable of remote indication of any removal of or damage to the module, disruption of operation, reverse flows, leakages, and more
  • Ease of reading due to the counter’s ability to rotate freely within 358°
  • Fog-resistant hermetic counter: counter mechanism enclosed in a glass-copper casing with an IP68 protection rating

Reliability

  • Tested and robust design
  • Durably protected by design from strong magnetic field interference per EN-14154
  • Long operating life thanks to advanced wear-resistant materials of bearings and pivots
  • The counter mechanism is protected against mechanical damage
  • Permanently mounted strainer at the inlet to the water meter’s measuring chamber

Key features

  • The water meter is adapted to work in harsh environmental conditions, independently or with an installed communication module for remote readings in the AMR system
  • Magnetic coupling
  • Counter protected by a lid
  • Protection against:
    • strong magnetic field interference per EN 14154
    • mechanical tampering (with a robust, tamper-proof counter and cover design)
  • Potable water approved materials
