Application

1. Environmental monitoring field

Ultrasonic open channel flowmeter is used to monitor wastewater discharge, sewage treatment . Through the flow monitoring of the discharge or treatment facilities inlet and outlet, can optimise the sewage treatment process, improve the efficiency of treatment. 


2. Hydrological survey work

Ultrasonic open channel flowmeter is used to measure the flow of rivers, lakes and other water bodies to assess the status of water resources and hydrological characteristics. 


3. Urban water supply and drainage management

Ultrasonic open channel flowmeter is used to monitor the flow of water supply, it can real-time understanding of the water supply situation, to ensure the safety of water supply; This application helps to improve the efficiency and quality of urban water supply and drainage management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What types of open channels can your meters measure?

A: Any non-full flow channel using a flume or weir, including Parshall, V-notch, rectangular, and trapezoidal weirs.

Q: Do I need to build a flume for accurate readings?

A: Yes, flow rate is calculated from water level and channel geometry. A flume or weir is required for volume accuracy.

Q: Can I get data remotely?

A: Yes, models support Modbus RTU, RS485, and wireless (GPRS/4G) communication.

Q: What is your MOQ for wholesale orders?

A: MOQ for wholesale pricing is 10 units. For OEM, MOQ is 30–50 units depending on customization.

Q: Do you offer calibration support?

A: Each unit is factory calibrated. We can also provide simulated calibration reports or local partner assistance.
