Application: Airport surface water run off

Solution: Ultraflux Ultrasonic Flowmeter

Application

  • A large airport had to measure surface runoff water flows.

  • Flows went from 10 to 100% full pipe. No power on-site.

  • Flow readings needed to be measured and recorded continuously.

  • Solar power system had to have 14 days autonomy.

Application Details

  • Pipe Size:  1800mm

  • Pipe Material: Concrete

  • Flowrate:   Part full pipe, 40 to 5000 m3/hr

Surface water run off flow meter

Application
