Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Note 1 Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Badger Meter contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals except as otherwise discussed) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated condensed financial position at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, results of operations, comprehensive income, and statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Additional Financial Information Disclosures	Note 2 Additional Financial Information Disclosures The consolidated condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was derived from amounts included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 . Refer to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in that report for a description of the Company’s accounting policies and for additional details of the Company’s financial condition. The details in those notes have not changed except as discussed below and as a result of normal adjustments in the interim. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents. Warranty and After-Sale Costs The Company estimates and records provisions for warranties and other after-sale costs in the period in which the sale is recorded, based on a lag factor and historical warranty claim experience. After-sale costs represent a variety of activities outside of the written warranty policy, such as investigation of unanticipated problems after the customer has installed the product, or analysis of water quality issues. Changes in the Company’s warranty and after-sale costs reserve are as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, (In thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of period $ 10,859 $ 12,965 $ 12,868 $ 11,617 Net additions charged to earnings 1,312 935 3,564 3,667 Costs incurred ( 1,802 ) ( 1,014 ) ( 6,063 ) ( 2,398 ) Balance at end of period $ 10,369 $ 12,886 $ 10,369 $ 12,886

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Note 4 Acquisition s Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method, and accordingly, the results of operations were included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto. Effective January 1, 2021 , the Company acquired 100 % of the outstanding stock of Analytical Technology, LLC (“ATi”), headquartered in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, a provider of water quality monitoring systems. The total purchase consideration for ATi, net of cash acquired, was $ 44.0 million. The Company's allocation of the purchase price at December 31, 2021 included $ 3.9 million of receivables, $ 3.9 million of inventory, $ 2.5 million of other assets, $ 21.0 million of intangibles and $ 16.4 million of goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets acquired are primarily customer relationships, developed technology and trademarks with estimated average useful lives of 12 to 15 years . The Company also assumed $ 1.4 million of accounts payable, $ 0.6 million of deferred tax liabilities and $ 1.7 million of other liabilities as part of the acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired was based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had completed its analysis for estimating the fair value of the assets acquired with no additional adjustments.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies, Litigation and Commitments	Note 5 Contingencies, Litigation and Commitments In the normal course of business, the Company is named in legal proceedings. There are currently no material legal proceedings pending with respect to the Company. The Company is subject to contingencies related to environmental laws and regulations. A future change in circumstances with respect to specific matters or with respect to sites formerly or currently owned or operated by the Company, off-site disposal locations used by the Company, and property owned by third parties that is near such sites, could result in future costs to the Company and such amounts could be material. Expenditures for compliance with environmental control provisions and regulations during 2021 and the first nine months of 2022 were not material. The Company relies on single suppliers for most brass castings and certain resin and electronic subassemblies in several of its product lines. The Company believes these items would be available from other sources, but that the loss of certain suppliers could result in a higher cost of materials, delivery delays, short-term increases in inventory and higher quality control costs in the short term. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks by working closely with key suppliers, purchasing minimal amounts from alternative suppliers and by purchasing business interruption insurance where appropriate. The Company reevaluates its exposures on a periodic basis and makes adjustments to reserves as appropriate.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 6 Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s income tax positions are based on interpretations of income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions that the Company operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income for the years in which the assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Interim provisions are tied to an estimate of the overall annual rate which can vary due to the relationship of foreign and domestic earnings, state taxes and available deductions, credits and discrete items. The Company’s earnings before incomes taxes, provision for income taxes, and effective income tax rate are as follows: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, (In thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Earnings before income taxes $ 23,947 $ 19,396 $ 64,810 $ 55,744 Provision for income taxes 6,014 3,541 15,853 12,136 Effective income tax rate 25.1 % 18.3 % 24.5 % 21.8 %

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables in the financial statements approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Included in other assets are insurance policies on various individuals who were previously employed by the Company. The carrying amounts of these insurance policies approximate their fair value.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Note 8 Subsequent Events The Company evaluates subsequent events at the date of the balance sheet as well as conditions that arise after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. The effects of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements. Events and conditions arising after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued are evaluated to determine if disclosure is required to keep the financial statements from being misleading. To the extent such events and conditions exist, if any, disclosures are made regarding the nature of events and the estimated financial effects for those events and conditions. For purposes of preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes to these financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the date that the accompanying financial statements were issued, and has determined that no material subsequent events exist through the date of this filing.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Note 9 Revenue Recognition Revenue for sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services promised in contracts include the sale of utility water and flow instrumentation products, such as flow meters and radios, quality sensing equipment, software access and other ancillary services. Contracts generally state the terms of sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service. Since the customer typically agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract that does not vary over the life of the contract, the majority of the Company's contracts do not contain variable consideration. The Company establishes a provision for estimated warranty and returns as well as certain after sale costs as discussed in Note 2 "Additional Financial Information Disclosures" in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors. Information regarding revenues disaggregated by geographic area is as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, (In thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenues: United States $ 128,434 $ 111,281 $ 362,012 $ 313,326 Foreign: Asia 4,257 3,927 11,384 12,402 Canada 3,761 3,021 9,669 9,086 Europe 7,489 7,044 22,842 23,396 Mexico 1,034 948 2,419 4,025 Middle East 2,475 1,996 6,258 5,757 Other 559 521 3,660 1,457 Total $ 148,009 $ 128,738 $ 418,244 $ 369,449 Information regarding revenues disaggregated by the timing of when goods and services are transferred is as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, (In thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenue recognized over time $ 9,324 6.3 % $ 7,427 5.8 % $ 25,554 6.1 % $ 21,006 5.7 % Revenue recognized at a point in time 138,685 93.7 % 121,311 94.2 % 392,690 93.9 % 348,443 94.3 % Total $ 148,009 100.0 % $ 128,738 100.0 % $ 418,244 100.0 % $ 369,449 100.0 % The majority of the Company's revenue that is recognized over time relates to the BEACON® software as a service, but also includes training, certain installation and other revenues. The majority of the Company's revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale of utility and flow instrumentation products. Revenue from these contracts is recognized when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the product which generally coincides with title transfer during shipping. The Company performs its obligations under a contract by shipping products or performing services in exchange for consideration. The Company typically invoices its customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred and a receivable to the Company is established. The Company, however, recognizes a contract liability when a customer prepays for goods or services and the Company has not transferred control of the goods or services. The closing balances of the Company's receivables and contract liabilities are as follows: September 30, December 31, (In thousands) Receivables $ 83,491 $ 65,866 Contract liabilities 37,205 30,194 Contract liabilities are included in Payables and Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The balance of contract assets was immaterial as the Company did not have a significant amount of uninvoiced receivables in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. At contract inception, the Company assesses the products and services promised in its contracts with customers. The Company then identifies performance obligations to transfer distinct products or services to the customer. In order to identify performance obligations, the Company considers all of the products or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company's performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. The majority of the Company's revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale of utility and flow instrumentation products. Revenue from these contracts is recognized when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the product which generally coincides with title transfer during the shipping process. The majority of the Company's revenue that is recognized over time relates to the BEACON software as a service. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had certain contracts with unsatisfied performance obligations. For contracts recorded as contract liabilities, $ 37.2 million was the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period. The Company estimates that revenue recognized from satisfying those performance obligations will be approximately $ 3.1 million in 2022 , $ 6.3 million in 2023 , $ 4.8 million in 2024 , $ 4.0 million in 2025 , $ 3.7 million in 2026 , $ 3.3 million in 2027 and $ 12.0 million thereafter .

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Note 10 Leases The Company rents facilities, equipment and vehicles under operating leases, some of which contain renewal options. Upon inception of a rent agreement, the Company determines whether the arrangement contains a lease based on the unique conditions present. Leases that have a term over a year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are included in Other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Lease liabilities are included in Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Information regarding the Company's right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liabilities are as follows: September 30, December 31, (In thousands) Right-of-use assets $ 6,907 $ 5,877 Lease liabilities 7,163 6,177 The Company’s operating lease agreements have lease and non-lease components that require payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance. The Company has elected to account for both lease and non-lease components as one lease component. The fixed and in-substance fixed consideration in the Company’s rent agreements constitute operating lease expense that is included in the capitalized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The variable and short-term lease expense payments are not included in the present value of the right-of use-assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company’s rent expense is as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (In thousands) Operating lease expense $ 819 $ 768 $ 2,517 $ 2,420 Variable and short-term lease expense 37 38 140 115 Rent expense $ 856 $ 806 $ 2,657 $ 2,535 The Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based upon the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company’s lease agreements typically do not have implicit interest rates that are readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes an incremental borrowing rate that would be incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a comparable economic environment. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the remaining lease term on the Company’s leases wa s 5.3 years. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 , the discount rate was 5.0 %.
