About zenner multyjet wataer meter b class
What Class B Means
-
Under standards like ISO4064 / OIML R49 / MID etc., multijet water meters are classified by accuracy. Class B means a certain error tolerance, typically 2% in the normal/nominal to maximum flow range, and larger error (e.g. 5%) at very low flows (from minimum up to transitional). This is typical for domestic meters.
-
Class B often correlates with R160 or similar metrological class (saying how much ratio the meter can handle between minimum and maximum flow) in European/MID systems. Zenner often lists R160, R200 etc. zenneraquamet.com+2Brunata -
Typical Features of Zenner Multijet Meters (Domestic / Class B)
From Zenners product lines (MTKD, MNK, MTKDS etc.), here are the common specs and design features:
| Feature |
Description / Typical Spec |
| Measuring Principle |
Multijet (multijet) impeller turbine type. Water enters via multiple jets to spin an internal rotor, then gears carry rotation to register. (Zenners MNK, MTKD etc.) zenneraquamet.com+2ZENNER International+2 |
| Register / Dial |
Usually wet dial or dry dial depending on model. Some have semidry or protected rollers. UVresistant transparent cover. Some are sealed (IP ratings) to protect from condensation / water ingress. ZENNER Connect+2zenneraquamet.com+2 |
| Housing / Construction Material |
Commonly brass bodies; some models with polymer / glassfiber reinforced plastic bodies (lighter weight) especially in smallsize meters. Register caps often made of UVresistant polymer. ZENNER Connect+2zenneraquamet.com+2 |
| Size / Diameter |
Typical sizes for domestic Class B multijet meters: DN15 (), DN20 (), DN25 (1); sometimes up to DN40 for larger domestic or small commercial. zenneraquamet.com+2Land and Water Technology+2 |
| Flow Parameters |
Nominal flow (Qn, Q3 in Zenner datasheets) typically around 2.5 m/h for certain models, or somewhat lower for smaller sizes. Minimum flow and transitional flow as per standard, error 2% above transitional etc. Land and Water Technology+2ZENNER Connect+2 |
| Temperature & Pressure |
Designed for cold potable water up to about 50C; maximum operating pressure often MAP 16 (i.e. 16 bar) for many models. ZENNER International+3ZENNER International+3zenneraquamet.com+3 |
| Mounting / Orientation |
Many Zenner models allow horizontal installation; some allow vertical or even inclined / ascending/descending pipe runs. zenneraquamet.com+2Land and Water Technology+2 |
| Protection / Durability Features |
Sealed registers (IP ratings e.g. IP65, IP68 for premium models); antimagnet or magnetic tamper protection; protected rollers; lightweight plastic covers, etc. zenneraquamet.com+2ZENNER Connect+2 |
| Remote Read / AMR Options |
Many models equipped or retrofittable with pulse outputs (reed switch), wirelessMBus, or LoRaWAN modules for automatic meter reading. ZENNER International+2zenneraquamet.com+2 |
What is a Multijet Class B Water Meter
-
A multijet meter uses several small jets of water (turbulent flow) to spin an impeller (vane wheel). The rotation is transmitted (often via a magnetic coupling) to a dry dial register that totals the volume. Only the vane wheel (and associated shaft/pivot) is in contact with water; other parts stay dry.
-
Class B refers to an accuracy class per ISO-4064 / IS-779:1994. It sets the permissible error limits over different flow ranges (e.g., minimumflow to transitional, transitional to maximum flow).
Key Features & Construction
From typical Zenner / Anand-Zenner / Indian manufacturers multijet Class B meters:
Accuracy & Flow Ranges
According to ISO 4064 / IS standards and producer data, the operational / permissible error zones are generally:
Also:
-
Qmin: the lowest flow at which the meter begins to reliably record (i.e. starting flow). For many 15-50 mm sizes Qmin might be on the order of 30300 litres/hour, depending on size. dasmeshwatermeter.com+2dasmeshwatermeters.com+2
-
Qt (Transitional / mid-flow point): the point dividing lower (less accurate) flow region from main flow.
-
Qn or Q3 (Nominal flow): The designed continuous flow at which meter is most accurate / used commonly for sizing.
-
Qmax: Maximum continuous or short-term flow beyond which meter may be overloaded; also limits for head loss.
