Ultrasonic Flow Meters and Microcontrollers for Precise Water Management with 6.45% Error Margin

Abstract

Water management is crucial for human life, and precise measurement instruments are necessary to ensure efficient utilization. This study aimed to develop a water usage management system using ultrasonic flow meters and microcontrollers. The measurement results were displayed on a screen and sent via modbus to remote devices. To validate the accuracy of the system, a comparison between ultrasonic and manual flow meters was conducted, showing an error value of 6.45%. The implication of this study is the potential use of this system for water consumption control and transmission over long distances, contributing to sustainable water management.
