What is C715-18?
"C715-18" is an American Water Works Association (AWWA)
water meter designation for ultrasonic and electromagnetic
meters. This standard describes two performance classes
of potable cold -water meters of the electromagnetic and
ultrasonic type, in sizes 1/2 in. (13 mm) through 20 in.
(500 mm), for revenue applications, and the materials and
workmanship employed in their fabrication.
Type I. This type represents residential and commercial
applications where low flow accuracy is of particular
concern.
Type II. This type represents commercial applications
where low flow is not of primary concern.
MARS Company, a global leader in water meter testing and
technology solutions, offers the first and only Test Bench
Equipment Upgrade Program that includes special incentives
enabling customers to upgrade their existing MARS test bench
equipment to comply with the new ANSI / AWWA C715-18
industry standard.
The purpose of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
/American Water Works Association (AWWA) C715-18 standard
for "Cold -Water Meters -Electromagnetic and Ultrasonic Type, for
Revenue Application" is to provide the minimum requirements
for potable cold -water meters of the electromagnetic and
ultrasonic type for revenue applications. The C715-18 standard
was effective October 1, 2018 and approved by: (1) the AWWA
Board of Directors June 9, 2018 and, (ii) ANSI June 15, 2018.
MARS Company continues its industry leadership by offering
the ANSI / AWWA C715 Compliance Upgrade Program enabling
customers to upgrade their existing MARS test bench equipment
to required industry standards.
Features & Benefits
• Industry Standards & Meter
Manufacturer Compliance
• Increased accuracy at low and ultra
low flows. Upwards of 5% of total water
usage is estimated for the flows under
current'mechanical meters'abilityto
measure
• Meters have no moving parts which is
expected to provide longer life.
• Lower cost of ownership and reduced
repair expenses
• Significant advantage of electronic
meters is the reduced effects of
distribution system conditions on meter
performance over time.
