Digital Flow Meter

flow2_l.jpg
23.090 - Digital flow meter (no back-run stop):


For determining the amount of water passing through a plankton net or a pipe with a known diameter.

The flow meter is recommended for a horizontal tow of the plankton net. If lowered in a vertical position, the flow meter counts on its way down as well as when drawn back through the water column, thus causing an improper read-out. For a vertical pull you can use flow meter 23.091, which comes with the back-run stop feature.

Diameter of propeller/counter body: 70/32 mm, length 185 mm, 5-digit counter; easy installation by a two-wire point connection of the nosepiece.

The construction is based on a free flooding design, so it can be used for full (unlimited) oceanographic depth.

The flow meter read-out (max. value 99999) vs. water volume can be calculated using our spreadsheet allowing a quick and intuitive conversion regardless if the shape is circular, square or rectangular. Find the spreadsheet here.
