Sensus Introduces The accuSTREAM Positive Displacement Meter

Expands selection of lead-free Sensus meters constructed with composite materials

Sensus introduces the accuSTREAM meter, providing water utilities with a new option to continuously and affordably measure residential water use. The accuSTREAM meter applies proven positive displacement measuring technology and is the most recent lead-free water meter from Sensus, manufactured using composite materials.

Sensus continues to expand its line of composite water meters with the accuSTREAM meter, which complies with ANSI/NSF standards. The accuSTREAM meter includes patented bottom-plate technology for greater strength and a tamper-proof register assembly.

"Sensus is committed to bringing water utilities sustainable metrology products such as the accuSTREAM meter," said Mike Tracy, executive vice president, Sensus North America. "These products are just one way that Sensus can help support water utilities as environmental responsibility is increasingly mandated and the entire industry evolves the way it approaches intelligent water distribution systems."

The accuSTREAM meter is a future-proof investment that can connect with most advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and automated meter reading (AMR) systems to support intelligent and reliable remote management of water distribution networks. Utilities using an AMI system can access real-time, accurate data about consumption, reverse flow and leak detection.
