    2. Introduction: Soni Sonic Meter is a pressure sensitive measuring device. It is designed to help maintain the quality and integrity of parts during cleaning cycles in ultrasonic cleaners. Ultrasonic cleaners utilize a transducer attached to the tank’s exterior. The transducer outputs pulsating mechanical energy at high frequencies (ultrasonic), which cause the liquid in the tank to agitate.
