Ultrasonic flow meters - high temprature countries for house connections - Water
(OP)
Hello All,
I would like to ask about disadvantages of using ultrasonic flow meters for househeld connections in hot climate.
application: domestic water
Water pressure: 30 psi
water source: desalinated water
meter location: outside of buildings and fixed in plastic box in the wall.
The problem that my country temperature in summer monthes is 40-50 C degree, the plastic box will keep higher temrature around the meter higher than atmospheric temprature.
I heared that hot weather affects meter battery and LCD screen, also I heared that to use these type of meters water should be clear and does not contain any solids.
I know that ultrasonic meters accuracy is better than mechanical meters or mag meters
I would like to know from our experts if ultrasonic meters will be good idea in such application?
Please find the attached for 2 different meter models.
Thanks in advance,
Baram

The SM250 spec sheet says, "Uses fluidic oscillation technology" (top, page 2). That's not ultrasonic.
I'm a doubting Thomas. I do not believe the EMS with active sensor can get a 20 year life span out of a non-replaceable lithium battery.
