Introduction
Accurate metering sits behind almost everything in modern utility management – billing, leak detection, energy efficiency, regulatory compliance, and the smart networks that are gradually replacing manual reads across the UK.
MWA Technology supplies the specialist meters and supporting components that make all that possible, working with installers, utilities and energy management professionals across residential, commercial and industrial applications.
Rather than offering a single product line, we have built a genuinely broad catalogue spanning gas, water and heat energy metering, sourced from established manufacturers including:
- RMG
- Dresser
- Aichi Tokei
- Itron
- Diehl
- B Meters
- ARAD
- Honeywell Elster
- Engelmann
- Landis+Gyr
- Sontex
- Kamstrup
Let’s have a closer look at what that range covers.
Gas meters
At the high-accuracy end of our gas meter range is the RMG USM GT400 Ultrasonic, a six-path ultrasonic meter built for demanding industrial and custody-transfer applications. Its Virtual Meter Path Technology enables built-in check measurement, and titanium sensors mean the meter can be recalibrated without removal – a real advantage when minimising downtime matters.
For everyday residential and commercial installations, MWA’s diaphragm meters remain the practical backbone of the range, measuring gas consumption in cubic metres for natural gas, propane, and butane, with MID approval and manufacture to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.
Where equipment monitoring is the priority, the Aichi TBX Low Pressure Drop Turbine Meter is a customer favourite. Compact, lightweight, and self-supporting within pipework, it is well suited to boilers and industrial furnaces. Similarly popular is the Common CPT-04E Digital Turbine Flow Meter, which pairs a modular electronic design with a nine-digit LCD display, data history, alarm logging, and a battery life of up to 10 years.
MWA also supplies the accessories that keep gas metering systems safe and compliant, from Madas regulators and solenoid valves to gas volume correctors and pipeline filters.
Water meters
On the water side, the Itron Aquadis+ Composite stands out for its composite body, which removes the risk of dezincification, combined with long-term accuracy through magnetic transmission and MID compliance.
For higher-flow applications, the Itron Woltex Woltmann is built for endurance on high flow networks, with interchangeable mechanisms and M-Bus and Cyble-ready communication.
Ultrasonic technology features prominently among the customer favourites: the ARAD Octave Ultrasonic has no moving parts, giving it exceptional longevity alongside built-in leak detection and data logging, while the B Meters HYDRODIGIT-S1 offers a fully digital display with consumption history, LoRa/WMBus connectivity, and anti-fraud magnetic immunity.
The Diehl Hydrus 2.0, which can measure both hot and cold water, eliminates wear through ultrasonic measurement and supports remote reading via integrated radio with up to 16 years of battery life.
As with gas, MWA rounds out its water offering with the components that make installations complete, including boundary boxes, leak detection systems and solenoid valves among them.
Heat energy meters
Heat metering is where some of MWA’s most advanced technology sits. The Engelmann Flowstar U and Engelmann Sensostar U are both customer favourites, delivering high-precision ultrasonic measurement across a wide size range – from individual residential properties through to district heating systems – with flexible power and communication options including M-Bus, LoRa, and Modbus.
The Landis+Gyr T230 Ultraheat brings non-wearing ultrasonic measurement with no straight pipe requirement, meaning it can be installed in almost any orientation, while integrated data storage supports smarter energy insights.
For larger or more complex systems, the Kamstrup Multical 403 and 603 offers precision ultrasonic measurement with a modular architecture and advanced data logging across multiple network types – built for scalable, future-ready energy systems.
MWA’s heat meter accessories, including M-Bus relay products and clamp-on heat meters, help extend these systems for retrofit and hard-to-access installations.
A complete metering partner
What ties MWA Technology’s catalogue together isn’t just the breadth of manufacturers we work with, but the consistency of what each product is chosen for:
- High accuracy
- Remote monitoring capability
- Reliable performance in demanding environments
Combined with the accessories needed to complete an installation, customers can source an entire metering system – gas, water, or heat – from a single, specialist supplier.
Why choose MWA Technology?
With over 40 years of industry experience, MWA Technology has built one of the most comprehensive independent meter ranges in the UK, spanning the commercial, industrial, and domestic markets.
That depth of experience means genuine technical support. We help customers choose the right product for the right application, right down to pressure drop calculations for gas installations. This is why local distributors trust MWA to support both them and their own customers with the best metering knowledge available.
That commitment carries through to how MWA operates day to day. We are centrally located with easy access to the motorway network for fast UK-wide delivery, and we keep an extensive range of meters and reading system modules in stock and ready to ship, with next-day delivery guaranteed on orders placed before 4pm.
Every specified meter comes with a five-year warranty, backed by phone, email, and onsite technical support, plus a dedicated meter repair and refurbishment service, giving customers confidence in their metering long after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the difference between ultrasonic and mechanical meters?
Mechanical meters (diaphragm, turbine) use moving parts and suit most standard installations. Ultrasonic meters, like the RMG USM GT400 or Engelmann Flowstar U, have no moving parts to wear out, giving greater long-term accuracy and a longer service life.
Are MWA Technology’s meters approved for billing and custody transfer?
Many carry MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) approval, and models like the Dresser Actaris Mid Rotary and RMG GT400 are built specifically for custody transfer and technical measurement. Worth confirming the exact spec for your project’s requirements.
Can these meters be used with smart, remote-reading systems?
Yes. Many gas, water, and heat meters across the range support M-Bus, LoRa, Modbus, or pulse output communication, so consumption can be read remotely rather than via manual site visits.
Is the range suitable for residential projects as well as commercial and industrial ones?
Yes. The catalogue spans everyday residential diaphragm and compact ultrasonic meters through to high-capacity industrial and district-scale equipment, so MWA can typically support a project regardless of scale – from a single domestic property to a large commercial or industrial site.
