MicroFlow Pulsar Velocity Sensor

MicroFlow delivers accurate and repeatable velocity flow measurement, either as a stand-alone device or as part of a complete area velocity flow meter system.

Velocity x area calculation using MicroFlow provides a cost-effective flow measurement option compared to the installation of a primary measurement device, such as a flume, and provides a viable alternative where the hydraulics of the site do not allow for a restriction in the channel.

Features

Ultimate Features - End to End Cost Savings

• Operational Cost Saving by high energy cost avoidance, pre-blockage detection, automatic resets and the selection of the most efficient pump
• Capital Cost Saving by combining HMI, PLC, RTU and level control with no costly logic programming
• Remote monitoring of flow and level with picture verification for Compliance
• Modular and expandable to suit simple and complex applications
• With convenience and safety in mind, the power monitor can be mounted away from the ICA section
• Patented Asset Management data calculated by the Ultimate which can be displayed locally and remotely
• Blockage detection
• Pump Reversing
• WITS Procotol
