A dry dial cold water meter is a device used to measure cold water consumption in a home or building. Unlike traditional meters, dry dial meters do not contain any moving parts inside the dial itself.

Unlike traditional wet dial meters, dry dial meters do not contain a water-filled measuring chamber. This means they are not susceptible to freezing problems during periods of low temperatures.

Dry dial cold water meters are usually very accurate and reliable. They are used in both private homes and commercial buildings to monitor water consumption and calculate water bills based on the volume actually used.

It is important to note that dry dial cold water meters are specifically designed for cold water and cannot be used to measure hot water. For hot water measurement, specific meters are used that are designed to withstand the high temperatures of hot water.
