About this industry
A campus meters at the scale of a small utility without being one — a central plant pushing steam and chilled water out to the buildings, buried distribution mains branching across the quad, and dormitories whose water demand swings from a quiet weekday to a full move-in weekend. Prater Technical Partners supplies the sub-metering layer that splits that load fairly: Vortex VN2000 insertion meters that hot-tap the existing steam mains under pressure, Preso Ellipse averaging-pitot elements for building and campus utility flow, RecordALL Compound and Turbo meters sized for wide-swing dormitory demand and large domestic services, Dynasonics TFX-5000 clamp-on transducers that meter chilled-water and thermal energy without cutting the pipe, and ModMAG M2000 mag-meters paired with the FC-5000 flow computer for in-line campus flow and energy. Prater Technical works with you to spec each point from the main size, the fluid, and how far the run reaches.
