The Unidata 6526 open channel liquid flow logger is a compact, easy-to-use system for measuring the velocity and depth of water in rivers and streams, open drainage channels and large pipes. It is now available for rent.
It is suitable for use in a wide range of water measurement applications ranging from sewerage and wastewater to clean streams, potable water and seawater.
The Unidata 6526 measures forward and reverse flow conditions and may be programmed to compute flow rate and total flow in pipes and open channels. It is programmable for flow-channel profile and detects and measures reverse flows.
The operating temperature range is 0 to 60ºC and it can measure water with a temperature range of 17 to 60ºC, with a velocity range of 21 to 5000 mm/s at depths of up to 2 m. Internal memory provides up to 120 KB of storage.
