Cordonel digital technology enables precise
water management for commercial and industrial markets
The largest water users in a utility’s customer base typically
hail from commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses that
depend on reliable water access to function. This specialized
customer group requires precise tracking that helps them avoid
water loss and ensure that costs are affordable.

Enter Cordonel®, an innovative ultrasonic C&I water meter
from Sensus, a Xylem brand, which features a patented technology
that measures low-to-high-volume flow with proven accuracy. The
unique flow tube has three measurement channels to capture every
drop and seamlessly integrates with the FlexNet® communication
network to provide accurate readings in real time.
“Water utilities are at a moment of opportunity,” said Mike
McGann, senior vice president and president Xylem Americas,
Measurement and Control Solutions. “Digital solutions—such as the
remotely-managed Cordonel meter—have the potential to transform
water systems and the communities they serve.”
Beyond Measurement: Digitizing the Water System
Cordonel is more than a meter—it’s a sensor that enables the
digitalization of water distribution systems by incorporating
temperature and pressure data that helps utilities meet customer
expectations. Transferred securely, this actionable information
helps utilities maintain water quality, balance pressure levels,
and gain visibility into their operations.
“Customer expectations are shifting as people become accustomed
to living their lives online and obtaining information in real
time,” said McGann. “With Cordonel C&I meters and a reliable
communication network, utilities and their largest customers can
keep a precise pulse on each and every drop of water being
used.”
Robust and Reliable
The Cordonel meter can accommodate virtually all commercial,
industrial and agricultural needs, including horizontal or vertical
pipe orientations with no straight upstream or downstream pipe
(also known as U0D0) required for ease of installation. Without any
moving parts, this robust solid-state device provides a reliable
maintenance-free solution over its 20-year life.
Application Benefits
The Cordonel C&I meter enables a rich portfolio of
applications, including:
- Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Automated Meter Reading
data
- Precise high and low water flow measurement
- Leak detection
- Control of industrial processes using a pulse output
- Rich data for District Metered Area (DMA) applications
- Pressure and temperature monitoring
The Cordonel two-inch version will be available this summer and
additional sizes of one-and-a-half, three and four inches will
follow later this year. This new technology will be on display in
Xylem’s booth #1602 during the American Water Works
Association’s annual ACE23 conference from June 11-14 in
Toronto.
