New sealing solution for lead holes in smart water meters: comprehensive analysis of SIPC 1823 silicone rubber
With the advancement of smart city construction, smart water meters are gradually replacing traditional water meters and becoming important terminals for household and industrial metering systems. It can not only achieve remote meter reading and real-time monitoring, but also realize data management and intelligent warning functions, greatly improving the efficiency and intelligence level of the water supply system. However, in complex environments such as long-term outdoor, high humidity, high temperature, and rain, the reliability of smart water meters faces enormous challenges. One of the easily overlooked core hazards – poor sealing of the lead out hole – is becoming one of the main causes of water meter failure, leakage, or communication abnormalities.1、 Why is “sealing the lead out hole” so crucial?Smart water meters typically integrate highly sensitive components such as electronic motherboards, sensing modules, and communication modules. Once water vapor or dust enters through the outlet holes, it may cause:Circuit short circuit or corrosion, resulting in module damage;Abnormal data collection, affecting remote communication;Reduced protection level and significantly shortened lifespan;The repair rate of enterprises has increased, leading to an increase in after-sales costs.🔧 Traditional methods such as sealant, heat shrink tubing, and foam sealing often cannot simultaneously achieve sealing, flexibility, and aging resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more reliable and professional sealing material to provide long-term effective sealing protection for smart water meters. 2、 SIPC 1823 silicone sealant: specially designed for sealing lead out holesThe SIPC 1823 silicone adhesive sealant launched by ELAPLUS is a professional sealing material with excellent sealing, electrical insulation, and weather resistance, especially suitable for weak current sealing protection applications such as smart water meters, smart meters, communication modules, etc. 🌟 Core advantages of the product:Explanation of Functional Characteristics and Advantages✅ Single component instant use, no need to mix, suitable for automated/manual glue…
