Water Velocity Measurement Instruments

These instruments are currently 2012 the most commonly used velocity meter for index velocity stations.

Water velocity measurement instruments.

Acoustic doppler velocity meters advms are acoustic current meters that use the doppler principle to measure water velocities in a two dimensional plane. Designed for measuring flow in open channels and rivers where reliable velocity data is required continuously during floods or periods of high concentrations of suspended sediments. The ysi services team provides complete installation setup and indexing of these instruments ensuring that the manufacture s recommendations are met. The global water flow probe is a highly accurate water velocity instrument for measuring flows in open channels and partially filled pipes.

The water velocity probe consists of a protected water turbo prop positive displacement sensor coupled with an expandable probe handle ending in a digital readout display. This type spiral paddle type velocity apparatus for testing water flowing scheduled the measuring point time average velocity. There are various forms of current meters and the most commonly used ones are a the price current meter and b propeller type current meter. The model 2100 instrument was introduced in 1980 and has been one of the most reliable water current measuring instruments in the us.

Basically the adv measures the velocity of particles sediments at a point in the water column from the doppler shift in frequency of the emitted and received acoustic signals without calibration in 2 or 3 directions depending on the sensor arrangement. Global water flow probes are highly accurate water velocity instruments for measuring flow in open channels and partially filled pipes. The water velocity probe consists of a protected water turbo prop positive displacement sensor coupled with an expandable probe handle ending in a digital readout display. This instrument characteristics is small volume light and modelling compact structure precision carrying use convenient applicable to small rivers the river sell water irrigation and drainage channels of ford water conservancy survey runoff experiment etc and is widely used in the test tube of small and medium sized pump station efficiency flow.

All types of the instrument have common features. The newest addition is a data logging flow meter the model 3000. Ott svr 100 is a simple non contact compact surface water velocity radar sensor. The water velocity probe consists of a protected water turbo prop positive displacement sensor coupled to an expandable probe handle with a digital readout display.
