What Is The IP68 Protection Level Standard For Water Meters, And What Should Be Done For The IP68 Protection Level Of Water Meters?

In the construction of modern cities, ultrasonic water meters are widely used, which brings a lot of convenience to our lives. Before purchasing ultrasonic water meters, we need to pay attention to the protection level, so that we can choose suitable products according to the site conditions. Let us understand what is The IP68 protection level of the water meter, how does the water meter achieve the IP68 protection level?
