FLOW-TRONIC is internationally recognized as a leading manufacturer of innovative and accurate liquids flow measuring instrumentation for both open channel and full pipe applications. FLOW-TRONIC is an ISO 9001-2015 certified company with thousands of customers and installations worldwide, including Ontario, Canada.



Flowmeter Open Channel (Non-Contact)

Raven-Eye®

The RAVEN-EYE® is the new non-contact RADAR area/velocity flow meter for open channel flow measurements from Flow-Tronic. It combines state of the art non-contact measuring technology which measures flow from above the water surface with easy integration into existing SCADA or telemetry systems.

Radar area/velocity flow sensors have been in use for many years, so why is the RAVEN-EYE® so revolutionary? Using the latest design, development and production methods, has allowed Flow-Tronic to manufacture a high quality new generation radar sensor at a price that will make it your first choice for open channel and sewer flow measurement, but affordability is only one of the RAVEN-EYE®’s benefits.

The name was not chosen at random, like the bird, the Raven-Eye has three key attributes: Intelligence, Adaptability, Survivability.
