Discharge - electromagnetic flowmeter FlowSens

Parameter to be measured:

Flow velocity (, discharge)

Method:

electromagnetic

Equipment:

• probe
• display unit
• wading rod

Advantages:

• direct display of velocity and its standard deviation
• sturdy design
• apparently insensitive to mechanical interference, sensor fouling, high sediment concentrations,...

Disadvantages:

• bulky display unit
• heavy rods with coarse scale
• (data storage not tested)

What to watch out for:

• irritated electric eels
