See Rapid Storm Events Without Entering the Channel Stormwater Channel Radar Flow Meter is designed for municipal storm drains, concrete channels, culverts and detention-system outlets. A site may move from dry or shallow flow to a dangerous peak within minutes, carrying branches, grit and trash that can damage in-water equipment. Continuous event hydrographs support flood warning, drainage design, pollutant-load studies and post-storm reporting while reducing confined-space and high-water exposure. Debris-Resistant Surface Velocity Measurement The non-contact radar system measures surface velocity and water level, then combines those readings with the configured channel geometry to calculate instantaneous discharge and totalized flow. Keeping the sensor above the water avoids direct exposure to silt, debris, corrosive wastewater and fast-moving flow. This approach is well suited to locations where submerged sensors would foul, drift or become difficult to reach. Continuous level and velocity data also gives operators a clearer picture than a single level reading when flow conditions change quickly. Radar level and surface velocity measurement is especially valuable where contact instruments would be buried, scoured or inaccessible during the event that matters most. This page can naturally support buyer terms such as non-contact flow measurement, surface velocity sensor, water level monitoring, open channel discharge and remote flow telemetry. Turn Flow Data Into Flood and Compliance Insight Mount above a hydraulically stable section with an unobstructed view and verify performance at low flow as well as peak level; review backwater from downstream structures. Specify event logging, alarm thresholds, time synchronization and telemetry so rainfall, level, velocity and calculated discharge can be compared in one monitoring platform. A representative, hydraulically stable measurement section and a verified velocity coefficient are essential; irregular sections, backwater, turbulence and changing sediment profiles must be considered during commissioning.

Procurement teams should request the model-specific factory test report, serial traceability and final configuration sheet with the quotation.
