How the 60-Second Meter Selector Works

The selector is a filtering tool, not a final technical specification. It asks a short set of buyer-side questions and returns the closest product categories to review. The goal is to reduce back-and-forth before you contact sales with quantities, target market, and application details.

Typical selector inputs can include:

• What is being measured: water volume or heat energy?
• How will readings be collected: visual register, pulse output, remote reading, or prepaid credit control?
• What installation class fits the project: compact residential/light commercial, mid-size commercial, or large-diameter industrial?
• Does the buying brief require valve control or credit management as part of the meter category?
• What is the expected order quantity? Most products have an MOQ of 100 pcs; brass check valves are 500 pcs and plastic strainers are 5,000 pcs.

Because the selector is intentionally broad, it may return more than one category. Treat the result as a shortlist, then compare the category definitions below.

What the Selector Result Means: Reading Method, Valve Control, and Size Class Logic

The result is organized around three procurement questions that shape most B2B meter orders: how the meter is read, whether supply control is needed, and what size class the installation falls into.

Reading method

Reading method separates mechanical and basic meters from remote reading, pulse-output, and prepaid categories. Mechanical and basic meters typically use a local register. Pulse-output models, such as the known LXS15-300 pulse-output water meter with 1/10/100 Liter/Pulse output, provide a signal for downstream reading systems. Remote reading and prepaid categories move reading or credit interaction to an electronic interface. The selector uses this logic to avoid models that do not match the intended reading workflow.

Valve control

Valve control is relevant when the buying brief includes prepaid credit management or supply shutoff logic. In the selector, choosing IC prepaid or RF prepaid signals that valve control and credit handling should be discussed with sales. Mechanical and basic meters generally do not carry that function in the selector logic.

Size class logic

Size class logic groups applications into compact, mid-size, and large-diameter industrial needs. The selector does not lock a final pipe size; it points to a category where the size range is likely available. Known examples include the LXSG-15E-50E large-diameter flange mechanical water meter and the LXLC-250E Woltmann removable-element dry-type industrial water meter DN50-300mm. Heat metering options include mechanical, vertical, and ultrasonic heat meters. Final sizing depends on flow, pressure, installation orientation, and local metrology requirements, so confirm with sales.

Start With the 8-Category Directory

After the selector gives you a shortlist, use the 8-category directory to move from application logic to product family. Each category below represents a product range we manufacture and supply. Use it to prepare a request with quantity, application, reading method, size class, and destination market.

• IC prepaid water meter — prepaid category with credit-based supply control in the brief.
• RF prepaid water meter — prepaid category; confirm reading and control requirements with sales.
• Mechanical heat meter — thermal energy measurement in heating systems.
• Vertical heat meter — heat meter category for vertical installation layouts.
• Ultrasonic heat meter — heat metering using ultrasonic measurement principles.
• Remote reading meter — water meter category for remote readings instead of register-only reading.
• Mechanical water meter — includes large-diameter flange and Woltmann-style options such as LXSG-15E-50E and LXLC-250E DN50-300mm.
• Basic meter — core water metering without prepaid or remote reading features.
• Water meter accessories — brass connectors and couplings, check valves, strainers, and IC/RF cards; MOQs from 100 pcs (500 pcs for brass check valves, 5,000 pcs for plastic strainers).
