Open Channel Flowmeters

Open channel flowmeters are used to measure the flow rate in open channels, partially filled pipes and waterways. These devices are used in applications like wastewater treatment, stormwater management, and irrigation systems. Area/velocity flow meters are based on the principle that the volumetric flow rate (Q) is equal to the flow velocity (V) multiplied by the cross-sectional area (A) of the flow stream (Q=V x A). They operate by measuring the velocity of the fluid and, in a known or measured area, determining the total flow rate using this relationship.

Flow-Tronic Raven-Eye 2

  • Accurate measurement
  • Non-Contact Radar velocity and level measurement
  • Cost-Effective
  • Easy Installation
  • Portable or Stationary
  • For Channels 10 CM & Larger
  • Easy integration with SCADA, PLC or telemetry systems
  • No Maintenance Auto-diagnostic system
  • Totally sealed sensor: no joints, seals or screws

Excellent solution for difficult flow conditions such as high solids content, high temperature, shallow and caustic flows, high velocities and large open channels.

Flow-Tronic Beluga A/V

  • Real-time spectral analysis of the velocity distribution through the cross-sectional area
  • Easy integration with existing SCADA or telemetry systems Measurement validation through quality parameters
  • Auto-diagnostic tools
  • Improved accuracy due to digital spectral analysis of the velocity distribution
  • Embedded RS485 communication port with Modbus ASCII protocol
  • Straight 4-20 mA output for velocity

Flow-Tronic Phoenix 2

The PHOENIX 2 is the new non-contact RADAR area/velocity flowmeter specially designed for rivers or large irrigation channels. The elaborated opening angle of 32° allows the radar to capture the full spectrum of velocities over the complete channel or river width.

  • Accurate flow measurement
  • Cost-effective
  • Non-contact: the sensor is positioned above the water surface
  • Easy installation
  • Robust IP68 (PU) enclosure
  • Auto-diagnostic system
  • No maintenance
  • Easy integration with SCADA, PLC or telemetry systems
