A magnetic flow meter uses a magnetic field and electrodes to measure the voltage induced as conductive fluid flows through the meter, which is proportional to velocity and used to […]
A submerged pressure transducer is a sensor placed under water that converts the pressure exerted by the water column into a level reading.
An ultrasonic level sensor emits sound pulses toward the water surface and measures the time it takes for the echo to return, converting this distance into water level.
A level monitor is a device that continuously measures water depth in a sewer, manhole, or tank, often used to provide early warning of blockages and overflows.
A flow monitor is an instrument installed in a pipe or channel to measure flow rate and related parameters like depth and velocity over time.
