Water Current Meter (Cup Type) Complete Set
This highly efficient Cup Type Water Current Meter used for calculating the velocity of streams with complete accuracy by creating a contact of magnetic switch in the magnetic chamber. This is done due to the rotation of bucket wheel lies between the two pivots in yoke frame. The current produced in the chamber further forms the pulses which are recorded and counted by counter connected to the meter. This recorded value is then used to calculate the flow rate of the shallow water.
Reliable Field MeasurementDesigned for outdoor use, this water current meter is perfect for hydrological surveys, irrigation studies, and water resource management. The rustproof cups and robust frame ensure long-term durability, making it suitable for continuous deployments in demanding freshwater environments.
Instantaneous and Direct ReadingsThe mechanical rotating cup sensor delivers immediate velocity readings directly on the mechanical counter. This direct-read system eliminates the need for electronics, making data collection straightforward and reliable even in remote locations.
Simple Manual OperationWith its manual control mode and mechanical output, the meter requires no external power source. Operators simply suspend the instrument in a stream or channel to measure water speed and retrieve results instantly, enhancing portability and ease of use.
FAQs of Cup Type Water Current Meter:
Q: How does the Cup Type Water Current Meter measure water velocity?
A: It measures velocity mechanically using rotating metal cups that spin in response to water flow. The number of revolutions is recorded by a mechanical counter, providing a direct read of the currents speed.
Q: What environments is this device suitable for?
A: This water current meter is suitable for outdoor freshwater bodies including rivers, channels, and streams. Its corrosion-resistant materials ensure reliable performance in these conditions.
Q: When should I perform calibration checks on this meter?
A: Although the meter is factory calibrated, periodic checks are recommended to maintain measurement accuracy. Frequency depends on usage intensity and environmental conditions.
Q: Where can the meter be mounted during use?
A: It can be suspended or supported in a water channel using either a suspension wire or rod, allowing flexibility in placement for optimal results.
Q: What benefits does the mechanical operation offer over electronic devices?
A: Mechanical operation means the meter requires no power supply, ensuring uninterrupted use in remote areas. It also offers immediate response and simple maintenance.
Q: What is the process for taking a measurement with this meter?
A: To measure water velocity, suspend the device in the desired location, ensure proper alignment with the water flow, and manually read the velocity from the mechanical counter after stabilization.
Q: How accurate is the Cup Type Water Current Meter, and what is its resolution?
A: The meter boasts 2% accuracy and provides velocity measurements with a resolution of 0.01 m/s, making it suitable for detailed hydrological assessments.
