ams Accelerates Ultrasonic Water Meter Development with New IA-UWM-2-GP30-DN20 Module
To meet the growing demand for ultrasonic water meters in the European market, ams has introduced the IA-UWM-2-GP30-DN20 module, a turnkey hardware‑software solution that integrates the flagship TDC‑GP30 ultrasonic flow sensor chip.
Ultrasonic meters are poised to overtake mechanical counterparts within the next three years, delivering a longer operating life, higher reliability, reduced power consumption, and up to tenfold greater accuracy when measuring slow‑flowing water.
The module, produced by Chinese metering specialist iESLab, bundles ultrasonic transducers, a precision spool piece, and the TDC‑GP30 into a rugged enclosure. The chip’s advanced timing algorithm converts the transmission time of ultrasonic pulses into precise flow data, ensuring traceable performance.
By providing a calibrated, ready‑to‑install sensing unit, the IA‑UWM‑2‑GP30‑DN20 eliminates the need for manufacturers to develop proprietary ultrasonic technology, shortening development cycles and accelerating time to market for next‑generation water meters.
