Taking the Guessing Game Out of 水表尺寸s

Taking the Guessing Game Out of 水表尺寸s

When it comes to recording water usage within a structure, there are multiple water meter size options available – and they’re not always labeled as so. 知道了这一点, regular maintenance to meter change-out jobs can easily become a guessing game for municipalities if they don’t know what to look for. 谢天谢地，我们做到了.

Water meters are distinguished from one another based off of features such as gallons per minute, 捻距, 和线程大小. When the meters are placed next to each other, these characteristics are easy to point out but that isn’t exactly an option while out in the field. The majority of the industry has trouble deciphering between 5/8”, 5/8” x ¾, ¾”, and ¾” short water meters in particular. See below for a table that highlights each size’s characteristics and comparisons.
 

水表尺寸	Picture	特征	Similarities and Differences
5/8"		确保流量 敷设长度7 1/2” Thread is close to a 3/4" male iron pipe thread (~1 1/8" diameter)	Same 捻距 as 5/8" x 3/4 and 3/4" short Labeled as 5/8" on the meter itself
5/8" x 3/4		1 - 25注 敷设长度7 1/2” Thread is close to a 1" male iron pipe thread (~1 1/4" diameter)	Labeled as 5/8" on the meter itself Same 捻距 as 5/8" and 3/4" short
3/4"		2 - 30注 敷设长度为9" Thread is close to a 1" male iron pipe thread (~1 1/4" diameter)	Same thread size as 5/8" x 3/4
3/4“短		2 - 30注 敷设长度7 1/2” Thread is close to a 1" male iron pipe thread	与3/4”相同的流量 Same thread size and 捻距 as 5/8" x 3/4

如你所见, there are many similarities between all four meters but there also features that make each one unique. 在一个.Y. 麦当劳, we receive a large amount of calls inquiring about which meter size the customer is currently working on. By putting a visual to each size and comparing them, we can help answer this question better than ever before!

Each water meter size holds its own flow rate, which is why it was specifically installed in the first place. If you’re still not sure which size you’re dealing with, make a call to our customer service department at 1-800-292-2737.
