CONFIRMATION

The meters shall be provided with steel companion

flanges, gaskets, bolts and nuts
The bodies of bulk water meters casing for flanged
ends meters shall be made of cast iron, or
Ductile (for PN 25), or steel for (PN 25&40).

The meters shall be protected against external

and internal by an epoxy powder coating and the
material of the meter shall be resistant to
corrosion .

manuals, spare parts list and price list etc. shall
be provided with the offer.
Evidence of compliance with technical
specifications and standard as well as the
certificate of testing for accuracy, pressure, and
capacities is required. Approval certificates of
relevant authorities, such as EEC, BS, or
AWWA, shall be provided.
