Open channel flow measurements are based upon a level measurement which is transformed into a flow measurement by applying the measured level or “head” into a flow calculation or a conversion table. The calculations are specifically related to a flume, weir, or other type of Primary Measuring Device (PMD); setting up the relationship between the head and the volumetric flow rate.
The same items are checked as a level application, but with the addition of checking the PMD type, dimensions, condition, and if the PMD is functioning correctly to conform to the related flow calculation. Totaliser pulse outputs can be configured for any external monitoring devices
Datalogging is a common requirement for flow measurement, and Pulsar Measurement engineers can set up the local data logging function (where available) and give instructions to any operators wishing to download or view the logged data.
Where no Primary Measuring Device (PMD) is available, an additional velocity sensor is commonly used to enable an Area*Velocity method of flow calculation. The velocity sensor can be verified against portable devices to ensure the validity of the flow measurement.

Our open channel flow on-site solutions are only available to our UK customers, for customers outside of the UK, contact your local Pulsar Measurement Partner.
