Vertical Positive Displacement Water Meter (VPD)

Water Management

 

For High-Accuracy Flow Measurement

Especially suited for agricultural water management, this vertical positive displacement meter is used to ensure accurate water usage readings. It uses an oscillating piston for precise volume measurement.

The meter is designed for vertical installation but can also be installed horizontally or on an incline, provided that it is always filled with water.
