Micro-Wave River Velocity Meter

Micro-Wave River Velocity Meter

The Micro-Wave River Velocity Portable Meter gives you precise speed measurement from a stationary position outside the body of water. This will help you gain accurate water speed measurement, designed specifically to measure streams and rivers. The Micro-Wave River Velocity Meter Portable is perfect tool for flood management applications

The Micro-Wave River Velocity Meter Portable is extremely valuable for measuring water surface velocity during high velocity flows and flood conditions where using contact measurement instruments pose a risk to safety.

Functions

  • Touchscreen controls
  • Built in data logger with automatic date and time information
  • Allows scientists to determine the surface velocity of water
  • Includes cosine error correction, allowing the unit to compensate for horizontal and vertical angles
  • Wide velocity flow range (0.2 – 20 m/s)
  • Powered by replaceable & rechargeable Li-ion batteries
  • Accepts tripod mounting
  • User friendly measurement and reading
  • Data port for computer.
  • Internal cosine error correction, allowing the unit to compensate for vertical angles up to 60 degrees.
