Aqua Data Fluvia RC3
Hand Held Electromagnetic Flow Meter
The FLUVIA electromagnetic water velocity meter is a portable device that measures the velocity of water to determine its flow. The user interface for the FLUVIA has been designed to be as simple as possible enabling users to quickly and effectively take accurate velocity measurements.
Description
The FLUVIA can be tailored to the user’s ideal setup, meaning the units, date and time, language and data logging methods are easily changeable. An optional extra of GPS is also available which can auto set the time as well as provide accurate location information for each data point. Its hydrodynamic shape and small size probe permits measurements close to fluid surface and channel bed or pipeline wall, and with no moving parts, it does not retain debris, guaranteeing accuracy and reliability. Another feature of the FLUVIA is the ability to profile rivers. If depth data is entered by the user, the unit is capable of generating a computed river flow profile, allowing more detailed analysis of the river. The FLUVIA allows users to not only transfer data to a computer but also to analyse on the fly. The unit is capable of storing collected data, which can then be reviewed on-site. Areas include:
