Dear All;

Nowadays, the technology for water flow measurement is using Faraday's law (electromagnetic flowmeter) where the accuray can be +-0.25%.

But the challenge is the cost. It is extremely expensive if we want to have size 1/2 inches for residential use. It is applicable and acceptable only for bulk meter.

With recent technology, is there any way to produce water meter with maximum o.5% tolerance at cost around US$50. Considering nowadays so many theories and science invented.

The sky is the limit, isn't it? The fact that water is incompressible may be the foundation for such meter.

Regards,
Keith
