FLOW METER FLOWBOX

Ultrasonic gravitational flow meter for waters and waste waters .......................

SUBJECT OF THE OFFER

The subject of our offer is an ultrasonic flow meter FLOWBOX intended for measuring momentary and total flow of the liquid in gravitational channels, with the use of measuring flume or measuring weir, basing on ISO standard or UNIKLAR-77 cataloque. Upon request, it’s also possible to carry out pre-investment technical consulting, as well as subsequent installation, launching* and protocol-based delivery of flow meter for the use.

• * Launching of our ultrasonic flow meter FLOWBOX in your facility (unlike many products of the competition) is very simple and in most cases, it doesn’t require a visit of specialized service – we provide factory pre-programmed (for the given type of flume or measuring weir) and pre-calibrated set (only one parameter needs to be adjusted).

FLOWBOX FLOW METER DESIGN

FLOWBOX flow meter in basic performance consists of:

1. M1600 Transmitter
2. Ultrasonic level sensor SPA

Measurement of the liquid flow is carried out based on the rising element:

1. Palmer-Bowlus measurng flume
2. Venturi measurng flume
3. Parshall measurng flume
4. Measurng weir

FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE

Described measurement of the liquid flow, based on ISO standard or UNIKLAR-77 cataloque, with an ultrasonic flow meter FLOWBOX, is currently one of the most popular and proven methods for measuring liquid flow in the gravitational channels, which has been used on the market for many years now. Every year, several hundred of new locations are equipped with the flow meters FLOWBOX manufactured by us, which in great majority successfully fulfil assumed measuring functions. The basis of operation of the flow meter FLOWBOX is the measurement of ultrasonic beam passage time between the ultrasonic sensor and the surface of dammed up liquid by one of the standardized damming elements (measuring flume or measuring weir), on the basis of which the level of liquid’s damming up is determined, and then – after using appropriate conversion formula – current flow rate of the liquid is determined.

The basic condition for the use of this method is to provide laminar flow of the liquid through damming element (e.g. measuring flume) and to ensure free unhindered outflow.

The ultrasonic method used for measurement has many advantages – among others, it enables the lack of direct contact of the measuring sensor with contaminated or aggressive medium.
