In terms of water meter reading, the majority of 16 million houses use mechanical water meter in korea. So, a member of the utility's staff needs to access periodically the water meter and the value of the metered volume. However, due to the use of mechanical water meter, many issues have been appeared as cost, time, errors, accessibility, and readability. To settle these issues, we developed the walk-by meter reading system of digital water meter and outside indicator based on ubiquitous. And we could get the characteristics and the economical efficiency for water meter reading system. Thus, this study shows that the system can be widely used to the block system and the meter reading system for stable water supply.

Pneumatic system has been mainly used as main equipment for actuation and control of compressed air force in manufacturing industry, pneumatic circuit for the most part is used in Meter-Out circuit. Meter-Out circuit method is Flow Control Valve to fit in exhaust part of cylinder port. In the reverse, Meter-In circuit is Flow Control Valve to fit in input part of cylinder port. This study examines the dynamic characteristics comparison of Meter-In and Meter-Out Circuits in the pneumatic circuits. The results of the experimental research are obtained to the followings: i ) System Response is Meter-In Circuit more than Meter-Out one before cushion zone. ii) we conjectured that the collision of piston and head cover is ease to collide Meter-In Circuit more than Meter-Out one at the stroke end part.

The purpose of this study is to survey colors of background, marker, and pointer being used in passenger car's combination meter, and to suggest ergonomic design guidelines of combination meter to enhance driver's readability. An experiment was conducted, in which colors of background, marker, and pointer were selected as independent variables, and reading time, reading error, and preference for combination meter were measured as dependent variables. Most of passenger cars sold in Korea were found to have combination meter with black background, while marker. The experimental results showed that reading time of combination meter with white background, black marker and point was shortest, reading error was lowest in combination meter with black background, yellow marker pointer, and preference for combination meter with white background, black marker and black or red pointer was highest. The results implied that combination meter with white background, black marker and black pointer should be used for comprehensively optimizing reading time, reading error, and preference for it. It was expected that these results could be used as valuable design guidelines when designing combination meter of passenger car.

Orifice flow meters are frequently used for measuring gas flow in gas industry. However, to insure the accuracy of the measurement, a certain length of the meter run at the upstream of the flow meter is required. The objective of this study is to analyze flow measurement errors of the orifice flow meter quantitatively for shorter lengths of the meter runs than those suggested in the standard manuals with variation of diameter ratio( $\beta$ ratio) and flow rate. The test results showed that the flow measurement errors of the orifice meter were inversely proportional to the diameter ratio. In other words, when the diameter ratio is 0.3 and 0.7, the measurement error is $-7.3\%$ and $-3.5\%$, respectively. the main reason of the measurement error is due to the swirl effect from the configuration of the meter run at the upstream of the flow meter. In case the length of the meter run is shorter than that suggested in the standard manuals, the swirl effect is not removed completely and it affects the flow meter's performance. As mentioned above, the less the pipe diameter ratio, the more the flow measurement error. It means that the swirl effect on the orifice meter increases as the $\beta$ ratio decreases.

The AMR(automatic meter reading) system has been increasingly and widely used for its efficient and intelligent management, which is a technology that automatically collects consumption data from a water meter or energy metering device. The digital meter instead of the mechanical meter should be used in the system. Up to now, various types of sensor to measure the water flow rate have been used in the digital water meter, for example, reed switch, photo IR approximate sensor, ultrasonic sensor, electromagnetic sensor, etc. In this paper, a new sensing technology, where a variable capacitor and digital circuit were used for sensing the water flow rate, was proposed. The circuit was designed and verified by Pspice simulation. And a PCB board for the circuit was fabricated. After then, a prototype of digital water meter using a variable capacitor to measure the water flow rate was fabricated. The function tests of the fabricated digital water meter were performed, and it was found that the meter worked properly. Since the new technology has much better properties in terms of cost and power consumption compared to conventional technologies, it should be one of the major digital water meter technologies in the future.

Water meter frost in winter is a nuisance to the water administration and citizen as well. It causes stop of water supply, possibility of accident due to leakage freezing, and additional official work to change frost water meters. This study was carried out to give some basic information of water meter frost condition, to verify the effect of frost protection devices such as lagging vinyl cover, electric heater, and meter pit using subterranean heat. Nearly half of the number of the water meter frost happens in old apartment house with outer corridor, and temperature of the meter box was measured in that kind of apartment house, comparing with atmosphere temperature. The capability of three kinds of lagging vinyl cover was investigated by measuring the inside temperature of the insulated box. Also the capability of existing meter pits and new meter pits using subterranean heat was compared by measuring the inside temperature of the pits. One of the result is that the inside temperature of meter pits using subterranean heat was higher than that of the existing ones, and deeper pit causes higher inside temperature in case of using subterranean heat.

유량자료는 물의 순환과정을 규명하고 효율적인 수자원 개발 및 이수 치수 계획 등에 매우 귀중하게 이용된다. 그러나 이러한 유량자료를 확보하는 데는 많은 시간과 경비 등이 요구되기 때문에 주요 수위의 유량측정자료로 수위-유량관계 곡선식(Stage-Discharge Curve)을 개발하여 유량자료를 환산하고 있다. 따라서 수위-유량관계 곡선식의 신뢰도는 유량자료의 품질에 절대적인 영향을 미치는 요인으로 작용된다. 수문학을 연구하는 많은 학자들은 고품질의 유량자료를 생산하여 신뢰성 있는 곡선식을 개발하고자 유량측정 방법과 기준, 장비개량 등에 관한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 측정하고자 하는 기기별 측정 성과에 대한 연구 자료가 거의 없이 국내에 보급된 다양한 유속측정기기를 사용하여 유량자료를 생산하여 활용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 규격화된 콘크리트 수로에 일정한 유량을 흘려보내고 다양한 측정기기를 이용하여 유속을 측정하였다. 그리고 이 측정성과를 이용하여 유량을 산정하고 비교분석하였다. 실험을 위해서 국내에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 측정기기로 마그네틱유속계(Electromagnetic Current Meter), 휴대용유량계(Flow Meter), 프라이스유속계(USGS Type AA Current Meter), 갈수기용유속계(USGS Pygmy Meter)등의 장비를 사용하였으며, 동일한 조건에서 유량을 얻음으로 측정 기기가 제시하는 유량을 알 수 있었다. 비교검토에 적용하고자 측정한 수심으로는 0.25m, 0.30m, 0.35m, 0.40m의 4개 Case로 진행이 되었으며, 측정방법으로는 도섭법(Wading Measurement)에 의하거나 케이블웨이(Cableway), 교량법(Bridge Measurement), 보트법(Boat Measurement)등이 있으나, 신뢰성과 정확도를 높이기 위해 도섭법으로 수면에서 0.6d 지점의 유량측정방법(1점법)을 적용하였다. USGS Type AA Current Meter, USGS Pygmy Meter는 유속측정기기의 검교정을 받았으므로 다른 실험유속측정치의 비교를 위한 기준값으로 사용하였다. 따라서 국내에서 널리 사용되는 측정기기(Electromagnetic Current meter, Flow Meter, USGS Type AA Current Meter, USGS Pygmy Meter)별 검토 결과 프라이스유속계를 기준으로 마그네틱유속계는 ${\pm}$10% 이상, 갈수기용 유속계 및 휴대용 유량계는 ${\pm}$5% 미만의 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

유량자료는 물의 순환과정을 규명하고 효율적인 수자원 개발 및 이수 치수 계획 등에 매우 귀중하게 이용된다. 그러나 이러한 유량자료를 확보하는데 많은 시간과 경비 등이 요구되기 때문에 주요 수위에서 유량자료는 수위-유량관계곡선식(Stage-Discharge Curve)을 개발하여 유량을 산정하고 있다. 따라서 수위-유량관계곡선식의 신뢰도는 유량자료의 품질에 절대적인 영향을 미치는 요인으로 작용된다. 수문학을 전공하고 연구하는 많은 학자들은 고품질의 유량자료를 생산하여 신뢰성 있는 곡선식을 개발하고자 유량측정 방법과 기준, 장비개발 및 개량 등에 관한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 현재 국내에서는 다양한 유량측정기기를 사용하여 유량자료를 생산하고 활용하고 있으나, 측정기기별 정확도 및 실험적 측정성과에 대한 연구자료가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 규격화된 콘크리트 수로에 일정한 유량을 흘려보내는 조건에서 다양한 측정기기를 이용하여 유속을 측정하였다. 그리고 이 측정성과를 이용하여 유량을 산정하고 비교분석하였다. 실험을 위해서 국내에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 측정기기로 프라이스 유속계(USGS Type AA Current Meter), 휴대용 유량계(Flow Meter), 초음파식 디지털 유속계(ADC), C2 유속계(C2 Small Current Meter), 플로우 트렉커(Flow Tracker), 마그네틱 유속계(Electromagnetic Current Meter) 등의 장비를 사용하여 유량을 산정하였으며, 각 기기별 산정된 유량을 비교 분석 하였다. 비교검토에 적용하고자 측정한 수심으로는 0.30 m, 0.35 m, 0.40 m, 0.45 m, 0.50 m, 0.55 m의 왕복측정 6-Case로 진행이 되었으며, 신뢰성과 정확도를 높이기 위해 도섭법으로 수면에서 0.6d 지점의 유량측정방법(1점법)을 적용하였다. USGS Type AA Current Meter, Flow Meter, ADC, C2 Small Current Meter는 유속측정기기의 검교정을 받았으므로 다른 실험유량측정치의 비교를 위한 기준값으로 사용하였다. 따라서 국내에서 널리 사용되는 측정기기(USGS Type AA Current Meter, Flow Meter, ADC, C2 Small Current Meter, Flow Tracker, Electromagnetic Current meter)별 검토 결과 평균유량 및 평균유속에 있어 프라이스 유속계를 기준으로 마그네틱 유속계 $\pm$ 10 % 이상, 플로우 트렉커 $\pm$ 10 % 미만, 휴대용 유량계, 초음파식 디지털 유속계 및 C2 유속계는 $\pm$ 5 % 미만의 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
