Water Current Meter (Universal type)
What is a Water Current Meter?
A water current meter is a hydrological instrument used to measure the velocity of flowing water in rivers, streams, canals, and open channels.
What is Universal Water Current Meter?
The Universal Water Current Meter is a precision device used for measuring water flow velocity in natural and artificial water bodies such as rivers, irrigation canals, drainage channels, and laboratory flumes.
What is the measuring range of this current meter?
The measuring range is typically 0.025 m/s to 5.0 m/s, depending on the selected propeller type.
How does the water current meter work?
It works on a propeller rotation principle. Flowing water rotates the propeller, and each rotation generates a pulse. These pulses are converted into velocity using calibration constants.
What material is used in the current meter?
The body is made of stainless steel or nickel brass, and the propeller is made of anodised aluminium for durability and corrosion resistance.
Is this suitable for field use?
Yes, it is designed for field hydrology applications, including river surveys, irrigation studies, and environmental monitoring.
Is it suitable for export use?
Yes, it is suitable for international hydrology projects, government tenders, and water monitoring systems worldwide.
