" Hermetically sealed register (copper can/mineral glass envelope) " Extended range approval " Interchangeable approved mechanisms without re-calibration Pre-equpped through Cyble as standard
The Woltex is a horizontal Woltmann meter available in sizes from DN50 to 500. With its extended accuracy range it is dedicated to all applications around water distribution where high reliablity and accuracy is requested. Extended Approved Range Variable Qn EEC/ISO approval of Woltex ensures an unmatched approved range of 107:1 (from Qmin to Qmax) instead of 66:1 for standard class B meters. This is ensuring accurate and reliable data collection in a large scope of flow rates typical of water network applications. Leakage detection as far as peak demands are accurately monitored initially and over time. Endurance & Peak Flow Resistance The extended approval is the result of more than twenty years experience in Horizontal Woltmann design, from the first hydrodynamically balanced helix patent in 1985 still resulting in unmatched endurance capabilities to the use of high quality materials. Ease of installation, Read and Maintenance The Woltex range is available in various lengths and connections to minimise installation costs. Interchangeable approved mechanisms allows easy maintenance without recalibration. Ease of read in the toughest environments (ie: flooded pits) is secured by orientable hermetically sealed register (copper can/mineral glass envelope). Communication Device Pre equipped for future communication through Cyble

The Woltex could be installed regardless of position (EEC/ISO approval class B all positions) Installation of strainer upstream of the meter is recommended to protect the hydraulics against raw particles We recommend the installation of a flow straightener directly upstream of the meter to cancel the effects of hydraulic peturbations on Horizontal Woltmann accuracy

Working Principle
The water velocity is rotating the horizontal axis propeller. Special shape of its inlet and outlet bearing 1 is counteracting the natural hydraulic thrust applied on the propeller then prevent any downstream pivot wear. This hydrodynamic balance was firstly patented on the Woltex range in 1985 and still features Woltex with unmatched enduring capacities. This results in a meter able to withstand sustained high flows without impacting low flow accuracy. This allows Woltex to be approved according the provisions of EEC/ISO with variable Qn extended range. The propellor rotation is transmitted by a protected transmission and direct magnetic coupling 2 to the register. The cast iron double body 3 is durably protected against the effects of corrosion by epoxy powder coating. The hermetically sealed copper can/mineral glass register 4 is safeguarding the read and integrity of the indicator in the toughest environments (flooded pits, mechanical tampering attempts...)
