New Arrival Box Type Open Channel Ultrasonic Flow Meter
New generation of Box Type Ultrasonic Open Channel Flow Meters is transforming flow measurement in wastewater treatment plants, industrial effluent streams, and irrigation channels. Designed for harsh outdoor environments, its defining feature is a rugged, weatherproof, and often explosion-proof enclosure that protects the sensitive electronics from dust, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres.
The non-contact measurement principle is key to its reliability. An ultrasonic sensor, mounted above the liquid in a flume or weir, transmits sound pulses to the water surface and measures the return echo. This distance-to-level data is continuously processed by the onboard computer, which applies the known geometry of the primary device (like a Parshall flume) to calculate instantaneous flow rate and totalized volume with high accuracy.
Compared to traditional mechanical meters, this design offers significant advantages: no moving parts in the flow stream means minimal maintenance and no risk of clogging. Its compact, integrated "all-in-one-box" design simplifies installation and provides a clear local display with data logging capabilities, making it an ideal, low-maintenance solution for remote or unattended monitoring sites where durability and long-term reliability are paramount.
Q&T Instruments offers customized solutions for flow and level measurement, supported by global technical service and compliance with international certifications.
