50 Giants Embark On A Long Journey: Tongtuo Woltman Water Meters Set Off For Turkey

In the early morning loading area, a gantry crane was slowly moving. From DN50 to DN250, a total of 450 "iron giants"-woltmanwater meters and irrigationwater meters-were neatly arranged on pallets, gleaming with a steady metallic luster in the morning light. These are industrial metering meters produced by Tongtuo Instruments for a municipal project in Turkey, and they are about to be loaded into containers and shipped to Istanbul.

"Every specification must be 'checked against the specifications'"
Factory manager Mr. Wang stood beside a DN200 meter body, patting the heavy cast iron casing. "Old Wu, have you double-checked the flange hole spacing for this batch of large meters? The Turkish pipe standards differ from our national standards by 2 millimeters; even a slight error during installation will cause problems."
Old Wu, the loading team leader, nodded, holding the drawings: "Mr. Wang, rest assured, the flange plates for each specification have been individually processed according to the installation drawings they provided. The DN250 is the heaviest, weighing 150 kilograms, so we specially customized lifting protection equipment to prevent damage to the meter face."
Foreign trade manager Mr. Tang walked over with the packing list, turning to the technical parameters page: "This batch of 450 meters covers the full range of diameters from branch lines to main pipelines. Their water department specifically emphasized that meters above DN150 must have bidirectional metering and abnormal flow diagnosis functions-which is precisely the strength of our smart module."

Intelligence within the "Large"
Although these woltman water meters and irrigation water meters have a heavy appearance, they contain sophisticated technology. The meter face uses reinforced glass, which can withstand the humidity of underground manholes and external impacts. "Small meters measure household water consumption, large meters monitor the city's pulse," General Manager Wang told the quality inspector beside him.

At the packaging site, order and meticulousness were evident.
Office director Ms. Zhu was directing her team in attaching shipping labels. "Different specifications are stacked separately, and the labels are all marked in both Turkish and English: caliber, pressure rating, and installation flow direction arrow," she instructed. "Each meter is equipped with matching flange bolts and gaskets, with corresponding numbers, to avoid them having to search for parts on-site."

Before departure, a continuing understanding.
Approaching noon, the last DN250 meter was steadily lowered into the container. General Manager Wang looked at the container doors about to close and said to Manager Tang, "Send a video of the loading process to their project director. From the first batch of small meters three years ago to these woltman water meters today, our cooperation has grown through consistently meeting their requirements."
Manager Tang said,. "It seems that after these 'big guys' are installed, there's a longer road ahead for us to travel together."
As the container slowly drove out of the factory, the sunlight illuminated the next batch of meter cores waiting to be assembled in the workshop. These 450 woltman water meters and irrigation water meters will silently stand guard in the underground pipe network, using precise metering to accompany a city's days and nights. Tongtuo Instruments, with its robust expertise in large-scale metering, empowers the clear management and efficient operation of every water network.
