Open Channel Flow Meters by RS Hydro

RS Hydro demonstrates its capability in open channel flow measurement. RS Hydro has recently won a contract to install two high-specification open channel flow meters using renewable power and providing a GSM datalogger telemetry uplink. The OCM Pro open-channel flowmeters from Nivus are the most advanced contact open-channel flow devices available.
The OCM Pro is an ultrasonic flowmeter as opposed to a doppler flow meter and operates with high accuracy. Thus, it is independent of medium conductivity or electrode covering by oil films or bacteria coating. In contrast to magnetic-inductive methods the system is completely drift-free. Sensor cleaning is not necessary.
The system can be applied in existing channels, pipes, constructions and more. Despite spoiling of the sensor, the unit will work reliably. Additional modifications, throats, inverted syphons or similar constructions will not be required. For that reason it is possible to install an accurate and reliable system even in large channels in a short time at low costs and without additional constructions.

RS Hydro also supply portable flow meters for hire or purchase to undertake short- and long-term flow monitoring in partially filled pipes and open channels.

RS Hydro regularly install open channel flow meters for sewer monitoring, MCERTS and IPPC applications throughout the UK.
