GPI Flow Meters Used: G2S10N09GMA

Problem:

Homeowners and businesses need to verify flowrate of water supply and accuracy of city equipment from main water line to individual properties. Other methods of verification can be inconvenient,time consuming and costly.

Flow Meter Application:

Use this compact meter to verify/test the water flowrate from the city main to individual homes or businesses. Use the GPI meter in the test assembly (shown below) to perform two tests.

1. Install the G2 meter on the supply line of the city main to verify flowrate to the residence. Open valve and check flowrate.
2. Install the residential meter on the downstream of the testing assembly to verify proper functioning of residential meter.

These two tests allow troubleshooting to be done on-site, saving labor time and money. Field crews are able to isolate water main problems and identify residential meter malfunctions.

Drawing of Application:

Solution:

Remove the residential meter from the line. Install either a G2S10 or G2S20 meter to the residential service line. Check flowrate. A secondary test
is done by installing the residential meter on the downstream side of testing assembly. Check and compare accuracy.
