Instrumentation device to the amount of water used by the user is a water meter by measuring management stability is necessary. But with the onset of winter to meter water was ice inside the phase change and about 9 % and increase the volume of the meter is damaged. The existing protection bleed water meter freeze protection technology into three great bootong, supplying the heat insulation inside the external protection, water metering for water meter in the freeze protection will be divided into installing the device. Not see how far the structure for the commercialization of new technology-based products and aims to develop technologies that do not require an external power supply. Thus, freeze more vulnerable by internal pressure of the interpretation applied to a water meter in temperatures below zero internal pressure to confirm the area of preventing damage and freeze protection that can reduce the effect is superior to develop a water meter.

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.
