Large Water Meters: Guidelines for Selection, Testing, and Maintenance

摘要

The guidelines explain how water utilities can achieve a good accounting of water production and consumption through the use of large meters, and are designed to answer the questions about large meters most frequently asked by engineers and system managers in developing countries. The guidelines are especially useful for managers interested in the accurate measurement of water production and distribution in various parts of their pipe networks. The guidelines also contain important suggestions on institutional arrangements, organization, manpower, and training needs. The methodology for maintaining each kind of meter is dealt with in sufficient detail that a distribution system manager can design and implement a meter maintenance system.
