SharpFlow

Battery Powered Electromagnetic Water Meter

The SharpFlow is a static meter electromagnetic type, battery powered with 15 years life time.
Available from D25 up to DN300, the electronic register is available in compact or remote version.
Its IP68 design allows installation in places where flooding can occur, or completely buried
underground. The SharpFlow is designed for custody transfer according to European Directive MI-
001.The measuring accuracy reflects the most recent specifications of the ISO/EN, MI-001 and OIML
standards.
