Water Industry’s First and Only Test Bench Upgrade Program for

Compliance with Industry Standards

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 � ow accuracy is of particular concern.

• Type II. This type represents commercial applications where low � ow is not of primary concern.
