A AMR device adapted to couple to utility meters and detect an peak rate of product delivery and responsively generate a signal indicative of the peak rate of product delivery. This information is transmitted to a remote location, such as to a utility or to a municipality. This peak rate of delivery is time-stamped and can be determined each clock cycle to generate real-time information. Moreover, previous peak rate delivery information can also be stored for transmission, and associated with a time of delivery. This information is useful to help understand the maximum flow rates a particular metering device is subject to for equipment selection, as well as applications in the area of conservation enforcement.
