Flodis Series

Mô tả

Flodis is a single-jet mechanical water meter manufactured by Itron (France), specifically designed for domestic and small commercial clean water measurement. The product stands out for its compact design, stable accuracy, and good performance at low flow rates, making ít suitable for installation in houses, apartment, and residential areas.
– Construction: Consists of the meter body, measuring unit (turbine), and register/display unit.
– Mechanism: The register features an extra-dry dial design, with the counting mechanism completely isolated from the water flow, keeping the lens clear, free from condensation and yellowing over time.
Technical specifications:
– Nominal diameter: DN15 – DN40
– Standards: ISO 4064, OIML R49
– Measuring principle: Velocity – single jet
– Accuracy class: Class 2, R = 160
– Working pressure: PN16
– Operating temperature: ≤ 40°C
– Installation: Horizontal mounting
– Materials: Brass body, wear-resistant plastic internal components
– Register: Brass register, IP68 rated, 360° rotatable; smart-ready register compatible with remote reading devices
– Remote connectivity: Fully compatible with Cyble modules (Pulse, M-Bus, Radio)
Key features:
– Single-jet principle
+ Water flows through a single jet directly impacting the turbine impeller, resulting in simple construction and low pressure loss
– Accurate low-flow measurement
+ Ideal for household applications where flow rates are low and intermittent.
– Magnetic transmission
+ Register isolated from the water chamber, minimizing wear and extending service life.
+ The magnetic transmission of Flodis is protected by a shielding, preventing any attempts of tampering using external magnets.
– Compact design
+ Easy installation in meter pits or small technical boxes.
– Low pressure loss (low head loss): The optimized internal flow path minimizes resistance, helping maintain stable water pressure for upper floors in buildings and downstream areas of the water supply network.
Benefits:
– Cost-effective, suitable for large-scale residential projects
– Stable accuracy, compliant with metering standards: Capable of starting measurement at extremely low flow rates, helping to minimize non-revenue water (NRW) losses.
– Mechanical durability: The hydrodynamic design reduces wear on moving parts, maintaining accuracy over many years.
– Simple structure for easy installation and maintenance
– Anti-tampering: High magnetic resistance prevents the use of external magnets to slow down the meter reading
– Flexibility: Easily upgradeable to automatic meter reading systems (AMR/AMI) without replacing the meter – only an additional communication module is required
Disadvantages:
– Water quality requirement: Best suited for treated clean water. If the water contains excessive debris or large particles, it may cause turbine blockage (a Y-strainer is recommended upstream)
– Not suitable for high flow rates or heavy industrial systems
– Remote reading is not integrated by default; pulse output or AMR requires additional accessories
ApplicationsMeasures flow in residential and commercial applications.
– Network management: Used in water utility projects to monitor flow and detect leaks within distribution branches.
– Light industry: Used in production processes that require monitoring of clean water input flow rates.
