The Australian irrigation management sector has long used insertion flowmeters to monitor the water usage from channel offtakes. These flowmeters are usually half inserted into the end of concrete pipes and associated headworks and secured with brackets. The customer must design, purchase and install concrete structures to house the meter. This design mitigates the need for these concrete structures by allowing the flowmeter to be fully inserted into existing pipework. This pipework material can be ABS, Polyethylene, PVC or concrete.
