SmartMeter

The SmartMeter C100R and C150R (N1.0m³ and N1.5m³)concentric water meter is a revolutionary new meter, which was designed by Severn Trent Metering Services in conjunction with seven UK water utilities. The C100R uses the well proven principal of fluidic oscillation for lifelong accuracy, and contains an internal radio to enable real-time transmission of consumption data.

Using an onboard clock and calendar, the meter monitors and stores system and leakage data, giving water utilities the opportunity to make use of Smartmetering at an economic cost.

Supply pipe leakage has always been difficult to accurately estimate due to its irregular occurrence and relatively low flow rate levels, but the impact of incorrectly assessing the scale of the problem can be wide-reaching. Continuing to use current technology and data collection methods is no longer a sufficient option for companies to supply credible, auditable and accurate data to OFWAT in the yearly Security of Supplies Review.

Designed and trialled by seven UK water companies and manufactured by Severn Trent Metering Services, the revolutionary SmartMeter™ C100R water meter has been developed. This will assist in water saving, by enabling effective leakage management and supporting the application of complex tariffs to curb demand. The meter is ideally suited to address recent water shortages in particularly water stressed areas where below average rainfall and increasing summer consumption have combined to seriously affect water resourcing strategy.

The revolutionary new SmartMeter C100R water meter employs advanced technology to provide water companies with additional data to help manage water resources. Through its patented design, offering real-time data transmission, 14 months of calendar reads and peak week information, the C100R is a vital tool for companies wishing to implement more complex and fairer charging mechanisms.
