FLO-DAR provides the user with highly accurate flow measurements under a wide range of flows and site conditions. By measuring the velocity of the fluid from above, FLO-DAR eliminates accuracy problems inherent with submerged sensors including sensor disturbances, high solids content and distribution of reflectors.
No lost data with non-contact, above the flow sensor that is unaffected by fouling due to debris and grease.
As the sensor is mounted above the flow, personnel have little or no contact with the flow during installation. Future sensor removal and replacement can be done without the need for confined space entry.
FLO-DAR sensor accuracy and long-term stability (up to 3 years without need for site calibration) from low flow depths up to surcharge conditions has been independently verified many times over the years, including a formal evaluation by the Alden Research Laboratory, Inc. and recent field evaluations done by municipalities and consulting engineering firms.
Operates in the most difficult conditions including flows with high solids content, high temperature, shallow and caustic flows, large man-made channels, and high velocities up to 20 ft/s.
