Transducers
The piezoelectric transducer is the heart of the system. Although these transducers are very
small, they have very high measurement dynamics.
The meter uses dual signal paths. The transducers are permanently installed and the path
length and angles are fixed. Each meter is uniquely calibrated at the factory and the
calibration data is permanently stored in the meter.
Battery Requirement
Solid state metering technologies require a battery to power the transducers and electronics.
With the continued improvements made in battery technology, electronic metering utilizing
internal batteries is practical today. The MACH 10 uses lithium thionyl-chloride battery
technology.
