Abstract: With the rapid development of technology and the increasingly refined management of water resources, smart water meters, as an important component of modern urban water supply systems, have higher requirements for performance and reliability. In the manufacturing process of smart water meters, adhesives play a crucial role, directly affecting the sealing, durability, and overall performance of the water meter. However, due to the complexity of the internal structure of the water meter and the diversity of the usage environment, the requirements for adhesives are also extremely strict. Therefore, this article will delve into the solutions for adhesives used in smart water meters, aiming to provide water meter manufacturers with more efficient and reliable adhesive choices and application guidance, thereby promoting the continuous progress and development of the smart water meter industry.Shanghai Hinnel provides silicone, epoxy resin, and polyurethane solutions for smart water meters.The use of adhesives is crucial in the design and manufacturing process of smart water meters. Although smart water meters appear to be simple measuring devices, their internal structure is complex, involving electronic components, sensors, wireless modules, etc. To ensure that smart water meters operate stably in various environments (such as humidity, temperature changes, etc.), adhesives play multiple important roles in their production.

Performance requirements for smart water meter adhesives:

1. Excellent bonding performance: Strong bonding ability to circuit board components and plastic housings, ensuring tight connections between various parts of the water meter.

2. Outstanding weather resistance: Maintains stable performance under extreme temperature, humidity changes, and UV exposure, without aging or cracking.

3. Good sealing performance: Forms a continuous sealing layer, effectively blocking the intrusion of external substances such as water vapor and dust.

4. Excellent corrosion resistance: Exhibits excellent resistance to common acids, bases, salts, and other chemicals, protecting internal components from corrosion.

5. Appropriate elasticity and toughness: Able to absorb and disperse mechanical stress, preventing structural damage caused by vibration and impact.

6. Environmental friendliness and safety: Complies with environmental regulations, non-toxic, odorless, and free of volatile harmful substances, ensuring safe use.

7. Ease of application: Good fluidity, wettability, and curing speed, facilitating operation on automated production lines and improving production efficiency.

In dealing with various harsh environments, whether electronic components, PCB boards, and electromagnetic induction devices can be effectively protected, UV aging resistance, extreme heat and freezing, and acid rain corrosion, Hinnel has extensive experience in these areas.

Recommended adhesives for smart water meters.
