Ultrasonic Meter (MACH 10). Introduction The MACH 10 solid state meter uses ultrasonic transit-time technology and solid state electronics. The meter is contained in a compact, totally encapsulated, weatherproof, and ultraviolet (UV) resistant housing for residential and light commercial applications. Ultrasonic... -
Page 16: Understanding Ultrasonic Technology
Transit-Time Technology The MACH 10 utilizes transit-time ultrasonic technology. This technology takes advantage of the principle that an acoustic signal travels faster with the flow than against the flow of the fluid. These meters have a pair of transducers that are essentially transceivers, sending and receiving the acoustic signals. -
