摘要:
A linear water meter system may include a metering system, a ball valve, a power generation system, a wireless communication system, or a combination thereof. The linear water meter system may provide a linear pathway through the meter that minimizes pressure loss in the system. Two pathways may be provided through the power generation system. One pathway may be utilized to generate power, and the other pathway may provide a bypass that can be utilized to maintain a desired water pressure level in the system.

An apparatus for use with a backup counter module, the apparatus having: a housing having a first end for coupling the housing to a gas meter body, and a second end for coupling an electronic counter module to the housing; and the second end having an inner surface with at least two sets of backup counter module engagement features for securing an output end of a backup counter module in one of at least two backup counter module positions. The housing may be coupled to a first gas meter body with a backup counter module positioned within the housing in one of the at least two backup counter module positions. The housing may alternatively be coupled to a second gas meter body with the backup counter module positioned within the housing in another of the at least two backup counter module positions.

Some embodiments of an instrument for a flow meter can automatically adjust in response to the rotational direction of the drive shaft of the flow meter, thereby permitting the instrument device to perform its intended function regardless of the fluid flow direction through the flow meter. In one example, the instrument may comprise a corrector instrument that includes a counter.

The present invention relates to a fluid counter, and more particularly to a liquid counter. The fluid counter includes a rotor which is equipped with a shaft. One end of the shaft terminates at a point which is used solely for low flow rates. The other end of the shaft terminates at a flattened sturdy surface which is used solely for high flow rates. Each of the ends of the shaft are able to cooperate with corresponding stop members. The distance between the ends of the shaft is slightly smaller than the distance between the stop members. In this manner, the two ends of the shaft cannot simultaneously cooperate with their respective stop member. Thus, the pointed end of the rotor's shaft is put into operation by a low fluid flow rate and the flattened end by a high fluid flow rate.

The control valve has a stator which imparts a swirl to the flow of fluid and a rotor which is rotated under the swirl of fluid. Energy is absorbed from the rotor in various ways. In one instance, the rotation of the rotor is subjected to a drag force which is induced in opposition to the force of rotation in order to control the pressure drop in the flow. In another instance, the rotation of the rotor is used to store electrical energy which can be used for other purposes throughout the process system.
