Apr 30, 2023 · As measure-ment errors for ageing meters (MJ-2 and MJ-3) are similar at medium and high flow rates, age-ing of meters cannot be described by linear degradation. This study showed that ageing and water consumption profiles have a great impact on water meter performance.
Jul 15, 2015 · Additionally, the lack of predictable degradation rates related to either age or accumulated volume for volumetric meters indicates that the accuracy of volumetric meters is primarily...
Apr 1, 2012 · Many factors can influence the accuracy of water meters, including age, throughput, water quality, and the presence of particulates in the metered water. These factors can affect various types of meters quite differently depending on the meter's design.

Aug 20, 2019 · The results of the test show that not only the age of water meters diminishes their recording capability, but also the way customers use water affects the readings (i.e., less accuracy at low flow v. better accuracy at high flow).
Apparent losses are caused by water meter inaccuracies, illegal consumption, and data handling errors whereas real losses are associated with leakage, pipe bursts and over-flow from storage tanks. In well managed WSSs, apparent losses mainly result from inaccura-cies of water meters.

Should water meter accuracy be a priority for utility managers?
Water utility managers generally agree that water meters, especially mechanical water meters, experience a degradation of accuracy over time. This degradation is a function of several factors, such as wear, water quality, water velocities, throughput volumes, and installation and handling.
