AVFM 6.1

Greyline AVFM 6.1 Area Velocity Flow Meter

The Greyline AVFM 6.1 Area-Velocity Flow Meter uses a submerged ultrasonic sensor measuring both level and velocity to calculate flow in an open channel or pipe. Measure flow through partially filled pipes, channels, canals, and turnouts without a flume or weir. Ideal for wastewater, stormwater, effluent, industrial wastewater, and irrigation water. Configuration is simple: enter the pipe diameter or channel dimensions and the AVFM 6.1 automatically computes and displays flow volume.

The ultrasonic sensor mounts inside the pipe or on the bottom of a channel with a stainless steel mounting bracket (included) and a single screw into the bottom of the pipe or channel. No special compounds, tools or hardware are required. The sensor is completely sealed with no orifices or ports.

  • No flume or weir required – submersible ultrasonic sensor measures velocity and level simultaneously to calculate flow. No moving parts to wear, foul, or clog.
  • The built-in 5-button keypad, intuitive menu, and large backlit LCD display make the Greyline AVFM 6.1 the most operator-friendly area velocity flow meter on the market.
  • Fast, simple, installation and set-up.
  • Improved performance in a wider range of operating conditions.
  • At a glance, view flow rate, velocity, level, totalizer, relay status, and important diagnostic information on the LCD display.
  • Three isolated 4-20 mA outputs for flow rate, velocity, and level, and two relay outputs for pulse output or alarm.
  • 6.5 million point data logger for greater flexibility of data monitoring, control, and reporting.
  • Min, Max, and Total Flow data from the last 365 days is available on the LCD display, or download directly to a USB for easy reporting.
  • Monitors flow rate, volume total, run hours, and diagnostic information through only two wires with the optional Modbus RTU serial communication output.
