Its main function is to protect the internal components of the water meter, providing a safe housing space to protect it from external physical damage, dust, and moisture, thereby ensuring that the water meter can accurately measure the water flow.

[0003] The water meter casing uses a horizontal mid-section water inlet casting structure. It is made with a precise mold according to the design requirements of the horizontal mid-section water inlet of the stainless steel water meter casing. The precision and quality of the mold directly affect the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the water meter casing. High-precision processing equipment and processes are usually used to manufacture the mold to ensure that its inner cavity surface is smooth, the dimensions are accurate, and it has good demolding performance.

[0004] In existing technologies, the use of a horizontal mid-section water inlet casting structure for stainless steel water meter housings allows water to flow smoothly into the metering chamber, reducing water flow disturbance and eddies, and providing a stable working environment for the impeller's metering components, thereby improving the metering accuracy of the water meter and ensuring accurate measurement of water consumption. However, during casting, excessively rapid cooling can cause the molten steel to become too cold, blocking the filling of the molten steel and resulting in casting gaps and shrinkage cavities.
