Kent Meters - Specifications



V100 Volumetric

The V100 is the world’s favorite domestic. water meter, with over 50 million already in service in over 100 countries, and offers accuracy, long life, low maintenance and tamper proof operation.
Available in sizes from 15mm to 40mm, with flow rates of between 7.5 l/h to 20 m3/h,V100 meters offer unrivaled performance to BS5728, ISO4064 Class C or D (for 15mm to 25mm only). In addition, models can provide valuable management information via a probe pulse unit upgrade. Unrivaled accuracy in any position, for any flow Due to the volumetric rotary piston
measurement principle, the V100 range can achieve the highest levels of reading accuracy
even at the lowest flow rate. The meter can be installed in any position: horizontally, vertically
or inclined pipelines, maintaining optimum performance with no loss of accuracy. Robust, leak-proof construction The use of advanced engineering plastics for the meter’s measuring chamber significantly reduces wear and helps maintain reliable, accurate measurement over all operating conditions. Solid particles are gathered by a large surface area strainer, further preventing damage; and its advanced design ensures that partial obstruction of the strainer will have no ill effect on the accuracy of the meter’s registration. A body ‘O’ ring seal between the measuring chamber and meter body ensures that internal leaks which could by-pass the measuring chamber are eliminated. Easy to read The counter is fully sealed, liquid filled using
a vacuum and offers simple, straight-reading presentation. The number rollers are completely immersed in a lubricating non-toxic liquid, and a sac attached to the counter casing acts as a balancing membrane, ensuring the pressure of the liquid in the counter equals that of the external water. The counter window is inside the meter body in the direction of flow for simplified reading. Tamper proof operation The V100 offers unrivaled resistance to illegal tampering: its unique conical body-half design eliminates the risk of dis assembly whilst in service and the mechanically driven cyclometer-type counter is resistant to magnetic interference. An optional return reverse flow restrictor provides further protection against outside interference, preventing the meter being operated in the reverse direction to reduce
the reading. This restrictor cannot be removed without opening the meter and destroying the seal.
