Yes, some modern open channel sensors combine non contact radar for velocity with ultrasonic or other methods for level, providing area velocity measurements without contacting the wastewater. These systems are […]

Mag meters generate a magnetic field and measure the voltage induced as conductive fluid flows through, while ultrasonic meters use sound waves and either transit‑time or Doppler principles. Mag meters […]
Hydrostatic (submersible pressure) sensors are used where non contact sensors struggle, such as deep wet wells, narrow chambers, or locations with strong turbulence, steam, or obstructions. They sit in the […]
A radar level sensor emits microwave (radio) pulses toward the liquid surface and measures the time of the reflected signal to determine distance and level. In harsh wastewater sites with […]
An area‑velocity sensor measures both water depth and velocity at a point in an open channel or sewer, and multiplies the cross‑sectional area (from depth and geometry) by the velocity […]
An ultrasonic level sensor measures only distance to the liquid surface, converting that to depth, while an ultrasonic flow sensor uses ultrasound to derive flow velocity (often with transit‑time or […]
