vízórákat

A vízóra, or water meter, is a device used to measure the volume of water that flows through a residential or commercial plumbing system. These meters are crucial for accurate billing of water consumption by utility companies. They work by converting the flow of water into a readable display, typically showing cubic meters or gallons.

There are several types of vízórat, with the most common being mechanical meters. These often utilize a small turbine or propeller that rotates as water passes through it. The rotation is then translated into a mechanical movement of gears and dials on the meter's face. More modern electronic or smart vízórat use different technologies, such as ultrasonic or electromagnetic principles, to measure flow. These advanced meters can often transmit readings remotely, eliminating the need for manual meter reading and providing more frequent data on water usage.

Proper installation and calibration of a vízóra are essential for accurate measurement. Over time, mechanical meters can experience wear and may require periodic testing or replacement to ensure continued accuracy. The data provided by a vízóra helps consumers monitor their water usage and identify potential leaks, contributing to water conservation efforts.
