92-1623-02 Flow Probe, 5' to 15' Handle
FP201 Water Flow Probe w/ 5' to 15' Handle
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. The water flow meter
incorporates true velocity averaging for the most accurate flow
measurements. The Flow Probe is ideal for storm water runoff
studies, sewer flow measurements, measuring flows in rivers and
streams, and monitoring velocity in ditches and canals.
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.
Probe
Handle
The Flow Probe handle can telescope from 5 feet to 15 feet in length
. The handle is
constructed of anodized aluminum for light weight and long
life. The Flow Probe may be easily extended up to 25 feet in
length using standard PVC pipe and an electrical extension
cable. This allows for measuring sewer flows from street
level and measuring stream flows from low bridges. A 3-foot
mylar coated staff gauge (graduated in hundredths of a foot and
centimeters) is attached to the lower section of the water velocity
probe for instant water depth measurements and accurate propeller
positioning.
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.
