Beyond Traditional Meters: How Ultrasonic Technology is Reshaping the Energy Industry
Gas utilities around the world face many challenges related to lost revenue and high operating costs. Inaccurate billing, harsh conditions and a lack of data to manage the distribution system are just a few of the reasons your operations team loses sleep at night.
The good news is that there is a solution to these challenges — ultrasonic meters. Solid-state ultrasonic metering can help utilities and cities by increasing revenue, improving customer safety and ensuring a positive return on investment through more accurate measurement. A growing number of utilities are upgrading to ultrasonic meters to provide accurate, durable and intelligent insights that lead to operational savings.
Not familiar with ultrasonic meters? We’ve created a white paper that provides unbiased information to help utilities and cities make informed metering decisions. You’ll learn how the technology works and how it compares to mechanical diaphragm meters. For example, did you know that ultrasonic meters have no moving parts? As a result, there is less wear and tear leading which lengthens the meter’s life and reduces capital costs.
At Itron, we continue to take feedback from our customers and create products that help utilities and cities solve problems and streamline their operations. Itron’s Intelis solid-state ultrasonic gas meter is a great example of our commitment to providing high-quality products to help our customers maximize the long-term value of their investments and achieve their net-zero goals.
