Turbo-Prop Sensor
The Flow Probe incorporates the unique Turbo-Prop propeller sensor, which uses the most accurate positive displacement technique available for velocity sensing. The Turbo-Prop is designed to shed debris and is protected inside a 2 inch diameter housing.
Water Velocity Computer
The water velocity computer receives an electrical signal from the propeller, amplifies the signal, and converts the reading to feet per second (or meters per second, depending on programming). The large LCD screen displays average, minimum, and maximum water velocity readings.
Flow Probe Handle
The handle is constructed of anodized aluminum for light weight and long life.
Ture Velocity Averaging
The Flow Probe can be used to measure the true average water velocity of a channel's flow. As long as the turbo-prop sensor is in the water flow, the computer will average the water velocity.To obtain the true average velocity the flow probe should be slowly moved throughout the cross sectional area being measured.
Optional Swivel Head
The Flow Probe Swivel Head option allows you to rotate the flow probe's turbo prop to ± 90 degrees from it's standard position. This option lets the flow probe take water velocity measurements in hard to measure areas such as vertical pipes on water tanks or swimming pool drainage systems.
Optional Alignment Fin
The Global Water Flow Probe Alignment Fin is designed to help orient the flow probe parallel to flow when the end of the probe can't be seen well due to the depth or cloudiness of the water.
