The FLO-MATE Model 2000 current velocity meter is ideal for gauging rivers as well as man made open channels. It is also a world-wide reference for the calibration of weirs, flumes and other open channel flowmeters and was designed to include the feature that end users desired.
The Flo-Mate's lightweight, rugged field construction with no moving parts, water resistant electronics, storage/recall capability for nineteen data points, battery operation, and fixed period averaging make it a simple to operate, robust velocity meter.
Ideal Flo-Mate applications for the measurement of flow velocity include:
- Streams and rivers
- Sewers
- Weir/Flume Calibration
- Irrigation Channels
- Mining Channels
- Open Channels
Advantages:
- The most widely used water velocity meter in the world
- Proven electromagnetic sensor technology based on Faraday's law for superior accuracy
- Data storage and recall capability
- Water resistant electronics
- Direct replacement for mechanical current meters
- Instantaneous readout of velocity
- Adjustable fixed period or time constant averaging
- Battery powered (2 D cells) rechargeable or alkaline
- Up to 20 hours continuous operation from alkaline batteries
- Different sensors available depending on the application
