OTT Sonicflow

Travel time differential approach for precise flow velocities

 

The OTT Sonicflow using the ultrasonic travel time principle is designed for continuous discharge measurements in rivers, canals and streams. Thanks to up-to-date ultrasonic technology and smart signal processing, the rugged measuring system provides precise values even in shallow waters. It can be used for waters between 5 m and 200 m in width.

• Usage Type:Fixed installation

• Measurement technology:Acoustic

• Parameters measured:Flow velocity

• Product highlights:Ultrasonic travel time system for rivers from 5 to 200 m width. Required minimum water level of 16 cm. Very low power consumption. Robust and flexible transducer mounting structures. Compatible with OTT data logger.

• Measurement range:± 10 m/s

• Accuracy:± 1 % of measured value ± 2 mm/s

   

   

Ideal for monitoring:

• Continuous discharge measurement in open channels and canals, also in shallow, wide waters, tidal areas, estuaries (backwater, changes in direction of flow)

• Reliable discharge control in cooling water canals, e.g. in power stations

• Precise control of tidal gates, sluices, dams, sample collectors etc.

• Precise flow measurement for controlling irrigation canals
