FlowTracker handheld acoustic Doppler flowmeter

FlowTrackerHandheld acoustic Doppler flowmeter

FlowTracker can easily measure laboratory precision flow rate data with just a few clicks, making it more suitable for daily flow detection and special hydrological applications. Low flow velocity and shallow water measurement function, capable of measuring small streams with a flow velocity of 0.1 cm/s and a depth of 2 cm.

The flow measurement method and calculation program based on USGS/ISO standards can automatically calculate the flow rate by simply pressing a key after obtaining the required data. Using the standard FlowTracker software, data can be quickly downloaded and reported. FlowTracker handheld ADV is specially designed for field measurement, and the instrument includes a handheld operation display that can be easily installed on the measuring rod and a portable ADV probe.

The sturdy structure of FlowTracker can withstand harsh weather conditions, and the backlit display function makes it easy to read data in dim environments. Using non-volatile memory, data will not be lost or destroyed when the battery energy is depleted.
