Estonian Site
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
Application
Solution
-
