Flostar M Water Meter

Mô tả

Flostar M is a single - jet turbine water meter designed for high flow applications by Itron. It is widely used for clean water consumption metering in urban water supply systems, industrial zones, large buildings, and hotels, thanks to its ability to measure accurately across both low and high flow rate.
Technical specifications:
– Diameter range: DN40 (1 1/2”) to DN150 (6”)
– Standards: ISO 4064, OIML R49, MID approved (European metrology certification)
– Measuring principle: Velocity – single jet
– Accuracy ratio: R ≥ 160
– Accuracy class: Class 2 (±2%) according to ISO/OIML
– Maximum pressure: 16 – 20 bar, compliant with potable water pressure requirements
– Operating temperature: up to approx. 50°C
– Materials: Brass body with wear-resistant plastic internal components
– Register: Brass register, IP68 rated, 360° rotatable; smart-ready register compatible with remote reading devices
– Flange connection: Movable flanges allow easy installation and size adjustment (DN50 and above)
Design & Key Features
– Efficient turbine measurement design
+ Single-jet turbine structure provides a wide measuring range from low to high flows with stable accuracy.
+ Magnetic coupling between the turbine and register enhances durability and long-term stability.
– IP68 waterproof register
+ IP68-protected register allows reading even in wet or flooded meter pits.
+ 360° rotatable register for convenient reading without repositioning the meter.
– AMR / remote reading compatible
+ Flostar M is typically Cyble-ready, supporting pulse output, M-Bus, or RF modules for remote reading when required.
– Low sensitivity to flow disturbances
+ Designed to operate reliably even under flow turbulence or less-than-ideal upstream hydraulic conditions.
+ Capable of starting measurement at very low flow rates (significantly lower than Multimag S), helping to reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW) losses
Benefits:
– Wide measuring range, accurately capturing both low and high flow rates — ideal for large commercial and industrial applications
– Long-term durability and accuracy thanks to magnetic coupling design
– IP68, 360° rotatable register improves reading convenience
– International metrology approvals (MID, ISO/OIML), suitable for commercial billing
– Smart-ready for AMR/remote reading via Cyble module (optional)
– Wide measuring range: Accurately measures from extremely low to very high flow rates without requiring component changes
– Lắp đặt linh hoạt: Có thể lắp ngang, đứng hoặc nghiêng mà không ảnh hưởng nhiều đến độ chính xác
Disadvantages:
– Higher initial cost compared to smaller or simpler turbine meters due to wide-range measurement capability
– Requires proper horizontal installation and suitable pipe layout to ensure measurement accuracy
– Not intended for hot water or non-potable liquids outside its original design scope
– Sensitive to debris: Since it is a single-jet type, if the water source contains trash or large particles/stones, the impeller can be more easily jammed than in a multi-jet type
– Filtration requirement: A Y-strainer is typically installed upstream to help ensure the meter's service life
Applications: Potable water measurement in commercial and industrial facilities.
– Main meter: Used for residential areas, apartment buildings, or industrial parks
– Leakage monitoring: With Class C accuracy, it is an effective tool for detecting leaks in the pipeline network.
– Commercial & service applications: Suitable for installation in large hotels, shopping centers, or manufacturing facilities with high water consumption
