The AVFM 6.1 can measure forward flow velocity up to 6 m/s (19.7 ft/s) and reverse flow up to 1.5 m/s (5 ft/s). The electronics and software sample and average flow rates continuously provide stable readings. The submerged velocity/level sensor will measure flow in partially full and surcharged pipes with pressure up to 10 psi. The minimum recommended pipe diameter for the AVFM 6.1 Area-Velocity Flow Meter is 150 mm (5.9 in).
Configuration is simple for the AVFM 6.1 Area Velocity Flow Meter. Just enter the pipe diameter or channel dimensions and the AVFM 6.1 automatically computes and displays flow volume. Configure the AVFM 6.1 for installation in irregular or compound channel shapes by entering the channel width and multiple level points through the simple menu system. Channels for virtually any shape can be monitored with your choice of measurement units.
The Flow Meter will store time and date-stamped flow values at 10-second to 6-minute intervals. Daily flow reports are automatically created where total, minimum, maximum, and average flow rates are displayed on the LCD display. Transfer log files and daily flow reports to any USB flash drive by connecting to the logger’s USB output.
The AVFM 6.1 Area Velocity Flow Meter is suitable for open channel measurement applications such as influent flow monitoring, effluent flow monitoring, wastewater, stormwater, industrial wastewater applications, and irrigation water flow measurement. Its easy-to-use, menu-driven setup means that the AVFM 6.1 Area-Velocity Flow Meter is just minutes away from giving you that all-important flow measurement result.
