Pygmy Size Water Current Meter
This compact size water current meter is designed to measure the velocities of the stream having less flow and which is shallower. This meter gives accurate measurements of the stream at the minimum depth of 3 inches.
Precision Measurement for Shallow StreamsSpecially designed for shallow waters, this pygmy current meter excels in environments where larger meters are impractical. Its robust yet lightweight stainless steel and brass build, together with a 50 mm propeller, ensures durability and consistent readings in small streams and open channels.
Mechanical Simplicity, Reliable PerformancePowered exclusively by water flow, the meter requires no batteries or external power. Its rotating cup mechanism provides instant response and reliable velocity measurements, making it a practical choice for remote, electrical powerfree applications.
Comprehensive Field KitEach meter comes ready for immediate field use with a 1.2-meter wading rod, calibration chart, and a portable carrying case, ensuring easy transport and quick deployment. Factory calibration guarantees high accuracy and reproducible results in various environmental conditions.
FAQs of Pygmy Size Water Current Meter:
Q: How is the Pygmy Size Water Current Meter used to measure water velocity?
A: To measure water velocity, position the meter horizontally in the flow direction at a desired point in the stream using the included wading rod. The rotating stainless steel vanes (propeller) turn with the waters movement, and each revolution is counted mechanically. Use the provided calibration chart to convert the count rate to water velocity.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this current meter in small streams?
A: This meters compact size, lightweight design, and high accuracy make it especially useful for shallow water and smaller channels where standard meters are unsuitable. Its corrosion-resistant materials and manual operation ensure reliable results in rugged field conditions without the need for battery replacement or charging.
Q: When should this device be operated during water measurements?
A: The meter can be employed whenever accurate measurement of low water velocities (from 0.03 to 0.9 m/sec) is required, such as during environmental studies, hydrological surveys, or flow-monitoring projects in shallow streams and open channels.
Q: Where is the Pygmy Size Water Current Meter most effectively used?
A: This device is best suited for shallow water environments such as small rivers, streams, irrigation ditches, and other open channels where measuring low flow velocities is essential. Its portability and manual operation also make it ideal for remote or field locations.
Q: What is the process for calibrating or validating measurement accuracy?
A: Each meter is factory calibrated, and a calibration chart specific to the instrument is provided. Users should utilize this chart to interpret readings accurately. For ongoing validity, periodic visual inspections and cross-checking with known standards are recommended.
Q: How is the meter maintained and what is its power requirement?
A: As a mechanical instrument, the current meter requires minimal maintenanceprimarily cleaning of the vanes and visual inspection for wear. It is entirely manual, requiring no batteries or electrical supply, reducing downtime and operational costs.
