When the size of the inner pipeline of the water meter is different from that of the pipeline (water pipe), the real-time flow rate of the inner pipeline of the water meter is different from that of the pipeline, and at the moment, the real-time flow rate of the pipeline needs to be calculated according to the size relation of the inner pipeline of the water meter and the pipeline, so that the real-time water pressure of the pipeline is calculated. And after the corresponding relation between the flow rate and the water pressure is determined, determining the real-time water pressure corresponding to the real-time flow rate according to the corresponding relation between the flow rate and the water pressure.
