Abstract:
A test water meter including a digital display is portable, as well as battery-operated. The digital display includes a gallon-per-minute display and a total gallon display, each of which is resettable at any time, as well as an additional total gallon display which has a reset enabled through a security switch so that only selected personnel can reset the additional total gallon display. The test water meter includes a pair of outlet valves, one controlling a standard 4-inch outlet and the other controlling a standard 3/4-inch outlet. Just upstream of each valve a meter is positioned. Associated with each meter is a transmitter for transmitting data indicative of flow rates and volumes to the digital display. Associated with the large meter is an indicator plate generally indicating flow rates as a function of valve position, the valve position being indicated by a pointer fixed to the valve spindle.
