Production Meter
Testing and Analysis
In JBS's long experience, the first step to understanding Unaccounted For Water is the verification of production meter accuracy. If water production is not accurately measured, a utility has no idea of the magnitude of the water and revenue loss. JBS personnel have been involved in production meter testing, analysis and application worldwide.

The manometer test. The U-tube manometer is recognized by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a primary standard due to its inherent accuracy and simplicity of operation.
Portable Strap-On Ultrasonic.
JBS also utilizes strap-on portable ultrasonic test meters where a tap into the pipe is impractical. The data is recorded and stored on a data logger for later retrieval and analysis.
