LIQUID COUNTER FOR DETECTING AND DISTINGUISHING LEAKS AND OFFSET PROBLEMS

Abstract

A monitoring method, implemented in a fluid meter (1) which includes a measuring device (6) arranged to measure a flow rate of the fluid and a valve (12), the monitoring method comprising a preliminary phase including the step of acquiring first flow rate measurements, and a detection phase, carried out when the flow rate remains non-zero and below a first predetermined threshold for at least a predetermined time, and comprising the steps of: - checking that the valve is open and, if so, closing the valve; - acquiring at least a second flow rate measurement; - detecting a fluid leak if the flow rate is zero.
