Features & Applications:

This Global Water flow probe / digital water velocity meter is a highly accurate, lightweight water velocity instrument that is excellent for storm water runoff studies, measuring flows in streams, rivers and partially filled pipes. The anodized aluminum telescoping handle extends from 3 - 6'. The key feature is a unique, free rotating turbo-prop propeller sensor protected inside a 2"-dia. PVC housing. The housing may be placed directly on the bottom of pipes or streams for measuring flows down to 2" in depth. The unit may be extended up to 25'L for measuring sewers and from bridges using standard PVC pipe and electrical extension cable.

A 3'L Mylar-coated staff gauge graduated in hundredths and centimeters is attached directly to the lower section of the probe for instantly measuring water depth and probe position. The waterproof digital readout, located on the top of the handle, displays instantaneous velocity as well as true velocity averaging. Two-button keypad also allows readout of maximum velocity, time, chronometer and totalizer. Easily replaced internal watch-type batteries power the unit for up to one year.
Each flow probe is shipped complete in a padded carrying case. Carrying case measures 9"W x 4"H x 4'L.

Turbo-Prop Sensor:

The Flow Probe incorporates the unique Turbo-Prop propeller sensor, which uses the most accurate positive displacement technique available for velocity sensing. The Turbo-Prop is designed to shed debris and is protected inside a 2" diameter housing. The probe housing may be placed directly on the bottom of a pipe or streambed for measuring low flows down to 2" in depth. The flow meter propeller rotates freely on its bearing shaft with no mechanical interconnections for minimal friction. Magnetic material in the propeller tip passes a pickup point in the water velocity meter handle producing electrical impulses that are carried to the readout display by an internal cable. The Turbo-Prop is easily removed for cleaning or replacement.

Digital Readout Display:

The Digital Readout Display receives an electrical signal from the propeller, amplifies the signal, and converts the reading to feet per second (or meters per second, depending on programming). The readout displays instantaneous velocity and true average velocity. The readout unit is water-resistant and incorporates a unique two-button operation for changing functions and zeroing the display. An internal watch-type battery powers the unit continuously for one year and is easily replaced. Also available on the readout is maximum velocity, time-of-day, and stopwatch functions.

True Velocity Averaging:

The Flow Probe uses true velocity averaging. To start a running average, first hold the reset button for 3 seconds to zero the display. When the probe is placed in the water flow, an average will begin. As long as the water velocity sensor remains in the flow, the averaging continues. Once the average reading becomes steady, the true average velocity has been obtained. When you remove the Flow Probe from the water, the average value is frozen on the display until reset.
