Introducing the BFU-300 Open Channel Area Velocity Flow Meter Range

Sep 19, 2024

The BFU-300 Area Velocity Flow Meter range is a low cost solution designed for accurate measurement of bi-directional flow in partially filled pipes, channels, canals, and culverts, all without the need for a flume or weir. This versatile instrument range excels in a variety of applications, including wastewater management, stormwater assessment, industrial effluent measurement, and irrigation system evaluation.

To suit your requirements the BFU-300 series is available in both handheld and fixed models.

Key Features

» Rechargeable Lithium Battery (hand-held): Provides 6 to 8 hours of operational life, allowing for extended measurement sessions without frequent recharging.
» 10 Metre Standard Cable: Offers deployment flexibility, enabling optimal sensor positioning for accurate readings.
» Deployment Stand, Carry Case and Bracket Included (hand-held): Ensures easy installation in various environments. The durable carry case is perfect for use in the field ensuring safe transport and storage.
» 4-20mA transmission output, relay high and low alarm control output, RS485 communication output and other variable outputs (Wall Mount Version)
» Advanced Measurement Capabilities :- The BFU-300 employs a submerged sensor to continuously monitor both velocity and water level in the channel. Its advanced design minimizes fouling, ensuring reliable long-term performance. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, this sensor is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
» Logged Values: Basic data storage for trend analysis

 User-Friendly Interface

Featuring a backlit TFT colour LCD, BFU-300 models display real-time data, including:

» Point Velocity: Instantaneous flow speed.
» Flow Rate: Accurate measurements of flow volume over time.
» Total Flow: Cumulative flow for long-term analysis.
» Water Level: Continuous monitoring of water height.
» Temperature: Water temperature readings
» Logged Values: Basic data storage for trend analysis

Robust Sensor Technology

Configured with an IP68-rated submerged Doppler velocity-level sensor and a depth pressure sensor that measures temperature, the BFU-300 range ensures accuracy and reliability across various water conditions. This makes it an indispensable tool for environmental monitoring, engineering applications, and water resource management.
