Water flow meter Stalgast 823998

A water flow meter measures the volume of water passing through a pipe over time, allowing operators to track usage, detect leaks or confirm consistent supply. It works by placing a sensor in the water stream; as water flows, it turns a small turbine or impeller inside the meter. The speed of rotation corresponds directly to the flow rate, which the meter then displays or transmits for monitoring. This method ensures accuracy without disrupting water pressure, making it essential for systems where precise control is needed. To use the Stalgast 823998, first connect the 3/8" threaded inlet and outlet to the water line. Ensure the flow direction matches the arrow on the meter body. Once installed, water passing through the unit will rotate the internal mechanism, and the flow rate will be visible on the display or output signal. The meter operates continuously, requiring no start or stop input from the operator. It remains in place, providing real-time data for as long as the water system is active. The Stalgast 823998 is constructed with a compact body designed for easy integration into existing pipework. The 3/8" thread allows secure connection to standard water lines, while the specified flow range of 10 to 100 litres per hour covers applications from small-scale beverage dispensing to low-volume cleaning systems. The flow range determines the types of tasks the meter can monitor—too low, and the impeller may not turn; too high, and accuracy may decline. The sealed housing prevents lime and debris from entering, so the impeller spins freely even after months of continuous use in hard-water kitchens. The internal components are sealed to prevent contamination, so routine checks involve inspecting the connections for leaks and ensuring the flow path remains unobstructed. If debris accumulates, the meter can be flushed by running water through it at a higher rate within its specified range. This model is placed in the catalogue under water management and monitoring equipment, serving kitchens, bars and facilities where water usage must be measured or controlled.
