Area-Velocity Flow Measurement in Open Channels and Pipes
PF LV550 measures Level and Velocity in open channels or pipes. No calibration is required. The sensor is a completely sealed ultrasonic unit with no orifices or ports. It mounts inside the pipe or at the bottom of a channel. The watertight electronics enclosure is hung in the manhole or at a convenient location. Sensor mounting brackets, batteries, software, and cables are included in each PF LV550.
Portable, Battery-powered
This compact new meter operates on standard alkaline batteries for extended periods to log level, velocity and water temperature in open channels, partially full sewer pipes and surcharged pipes without a flume or weir. It is designed for municipal stormwater, combined effluent, raw sewage, irrigation water and stream flow.
Streamlined Ultrasonic Sensor
PF LV550 uses a submerged ultrasonic sensor to measure Velocity and Level in the channel continuously. The sensor has no moving parts and is resistant to fouling and corrosion.
Logger Software
Powerful Windows software is included free with each PF LV550. Use it to set the logger interval, download log files, and view real-time Level, Velocity, and water temperature readings.
The Logger will display log files and flow rates in graph and table formats. It will generate flow reports including minimum, maximum, and average flow, calculate flow totals, and convert them between common measurement units.
Reporting is easy with the Logger – you can export charts as image files and export data to use in spreadsheet or database programs.
