ELECTRONIC & MECHANICAL FLOWMETER​S

Our Mechanical & Electronic Flowmeters are impeller driven instruments to determine the flowing speed of a variety of moving fluids and is manufactured entirely from corrosion-resistant materials. An odometer displays the total impeller revolutions in an adjustable time period. The calibration chart provided converts counts into velocity or distance. A rigid pivoting axle accommodates either fixed mounting support or flexible attachment to plankton nets.
  • A simple and reliable, impeller driven instrument used to determine the flowing speed of a variety of moving fluids.
  • Mechanical odometer displays total impeller revolutions in an adjustable time period. The calibration chart, provided, converts counts to velocity or distance.
  • Built in clutch for one way counting
  • High accuracy readings due to its ability to self-align with the fluid flow. The pivoting axle located at the balance center, facilitates orientation with the flow along the in-situ gravitational line.
  • Free flooding capacity allows for usage at any depth.
  • Double-point, flexible, connection for use with plankton nets or other plankton collecting equipment.
  • Rigid pivoting axle for mounting on fixed support
  • Manufactured entirely from corrosion resistant materials.

MECHANICAL FLOWMETER MODEL #MF315​

Depth rating: Full ocean depth (Free flooding)

Data readout: Manual resetting, six ten digits counter wheels, (000,000) reads ten counts per one impeller revolution (Last digit is 10ths)

Accuracy: +/-3%

Response: 0.20 to 10.0 m/s

Recording: 16 knots

Electronic FLOWMETER
MODEL #EF325

Depth rating: 600m (1900 ft)

Data readout: LCD display, up to 6 digits, (000,000) reads one count per one impeller revolution

Accuracy: +/-2%

Powered: 2 x AA batteries

Response: 0.2 -20.0 m/s

Recording: 26 knots

  • Same measuring principle, materials, overall configuration and use as the mechanical flowmeter Model MF 315.
  • Features a LCD display mounted on a battery operated integrated circuit board, that gives total impeller rotations enabling flow speed calculation.
  • On/Off switch and reset capabilities.
  • The LCD is activated for 10 seconds at a time
  • Records one way only thereby prolonging the battery life.
  • More accurate than the mechanical flowmeter due to less moving parts.
  • Practically maintenance free being a self-contained chamber.
