AMS Water Metering has announced that it has achieved WaterMark certification for the Qalcosonic W1 Australian Utility Version smart ultrasonic water meter.

Along with the NMI R49 metrology approval, AS3565.1 water meter approval and AS4020 drinking water approval, the WaterMark approval now means that the meter is fully certified for supply into the Australian water utility market.

The Qalcosonic W1 Australian Utility Version is assembled in the Melbourne facility of AMS Water Metering using the Qalcosonic W1 smart ultrasonic water meter manufactured by Axioma Metering in Lithuania. AMS Water Metering fits brass threaded adapters, a dual check valve and copper conducting strip to the Qalcosonic W1 to produce the Australian Utility Version which meets the requirements of the Australian water utility market for end-to-end length, dual check valves and electrical conductivity.

The Qalcosonic W1 is a compact, fully integrated smart ultrasonic water meter with a one-piece moulded composite plastic body with an IP68 rating. The ultrasonic measuring technology has no moving parts and maintains high accuracy throughout the life of the meter. It is available with fully integrated LoRaWAN or NBIoT communication protocols and the battery life is up to 16 years. The LoRaWAN version has RCM approval, while the NBIoT version will shortly have RCM approval.
