Iranian University Researchers Design Smart Water Meter

A researcher team at Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology has developed a smart water meter that can renovate the water supply network.
The smart meters have been designed with assistance from the university’s Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research. The center’s chief Mohammad Khodadadi said similar devices are being used around the globe. “However, this is the first time an Iranian team has been able to produce smart meters independently,” ISNA quoted him as saying.
The devices employ ultrasonic technology for measuring water flow rate and consumption. Contrary to the mechanical models, ultrasonic meters have no moving parts; this means that they are unaffected by wear and tear and maintain precision throughout their lifetime.
