IRT Water Meter
IRT Water Meters are ideal for moderate to dirty water conditions. The specially designed paddle wheel measuring device provides a free water passage resulting in low head loss and the ability to accurately measure water with high levels of impurities or debris. Accuracy is achieved over a wide range of flows. Available in 3″, 4″, 6″, 8″ and 10″ sizes.
Product Advantages

- Prior to installation of the meter, the pipeline should be thoroughly flushed.
- Meter must be installed so that the pipe will be full of water at all times during metering.
- To eliminate air in the system, continuous acting air vents of proper size and type are required.
