SOMFLOWUltrasonic Water and Wastewater Velocity Sensor

SHARE

The SOMFLOW continuously measures the water or effluent velocity in ducts, pipes and open canals in sewer networks, water treatment plants and industrial facilities. The twin 1-MHz ultrasonic Doppler transceiver determines flow velocities from as low as 0.01 m/s to 5 m/s.
