Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of water meters, an often-overlooked but essential element of waterworks engineering. The author explores the history of water meter invention, noting the remarkable number of patents filed since the early 19th century, yet the surprising sca…rcity of truly successful designs. The book delves into the complexities of creating a perfect meter, highlighting the challenges posed by variations in water quality, pressure, and flow rates. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the different types of meters and their unique strengths and weaknesses, from the precise measurements of positive reciprocating piston meters to the efficient operation of rotary piston meters. The author further examines the diverse applications of water meters across domestic, commercial, and municipal contexts, offering invaluable insight into the selection of the most suitable instrument for each need. The book concludes with a detailed exploration of the economic impact of water metering, including the advantages of metering for both consumers and suppliers, and a compelling argument for a shift from traditional water rate systems to more equitable and efficient payment based on consumption. The book provides a comprehensive and insightful overview of the role of water meters in a world grappling with water scarcity and the need for responsible resource management.
