Abstract: Various embodiments include an apparatus for mounting a water-meter antenna in a boundary box lid, including an inverted vessel adapted to both receive said antenna and orient said antenna such that in use the electro-magnetic radiation substantially propagates out of a boundary box covered by the boundary box lid, wherein either: i) the inverted vessel further comprises resilient mounting means adapted to secure the antenna in said vessel; or ii) a carrier is provided that is adapted to receive the vessel, the carrier preferably comprising resilient mounting means adapted to secure the inverted vessel in said carrier.

Abstract: A fluid flow meter comprising an outer casing having flow connections adapted to be connected so that in operation fluid to be measured flows through the casing, and a mechanical flow measuring unit (12) disposed in the casing to measure said flow through the casing, the casing being of plastics material and in at least two parts (30, 32) which are permanently bonded or connected together (at 34, 36) to enclose the measuring unit.
