Real-Time Flow Monitoring

APPLICATION

AVFM is built for measuring volumetric flow rate in open channel stormwater conveyance systems including: open channels; and non-pressurize pipes.  The open channel cross-section can be used along with water-level depth and flow velocity to compute volumetric flow velocity in an open channel system.  A perfect example application is documenting flow volume, rate of discharge, and duration of discharge from a detention system or an infiltration system with overflow discharge to storm sewer.

A Pulsar signal conditioning unit, data acquisition computer, battery and cellular antenna are contained in a NEMA IP67 enclosure mounted to a stand-alone pole, or existing pole.  A Pulsar depth and velocity transducer is mounted at the invert of the open channel using P4-provided sensor mounting system.  Direct-bury sensor cabling is run from the sensor to the enclosure.

WHAT'S INCLUDED & OPTIONS

Included with Kit:

1.)  Pulsar AVFM 6.1 Area-Flow-Velocity Flow Meter that includes a Pulsar combination depth and velocity sensor

2.) Small form factor NEMA IP67 rated data acquisition computer with integrated cellular antenna

3.) NEMA IP67 enclosure with mounting hardware

2.) Small form factor 12 VDC battery

3.) Voltaic solar panel and mounting system

4.) Sensor mounting system

Options:

1.) Stand-Alone galvanized steel mounting pole with drive-in base and corner bolt

2.) Direct-bury sensor extension wire (length dependent upon application)

3.) PVC conduit to protect wiring on stand-alone pole or existing pole.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Customers should assess the need for a stand-alone pole mount for the computer enclosure and solar panel.  If no existing pole or other mounting location is present, the stand-alone pole option should be selected.  Provisions should be made for a sensor wire run from the sensor to the computer system mounted to an existing or new stand-alone pole support.

APPLICATION

VELO is built for measuring velocity of flow in open channel stormwater conveyance systems including: open channels; and non-pressurize pipes.  Coupling P4's DEPTH water level monitoring kit with VELO facilitates area-flow-velocity measurements.  The open channel cross-section can be used along with water-level depth and flow velocity to compute volumetric flow velocity in an open channel system.  A perfect example application is documenting flow volume, rate of discharge, and duration of discharge in an open channel (e.g. adjacent to a bridge culvert).

A Pulsar MicroFlow transducer (sensor) is mounted above the flow line using a P4-provided sensor mounting system.  Direct bury cabling (within a 1-1/2" inner diameter conduit or not) is run from the sensor to the computer system.  

WHAT'S INCLUDED & OPTIONS

Included with Kit:

1.)  Small form factor NEMA IP67 rated data acquisition computer with integrated  cellular antenna

2.) Small form factor NEMA IP67 rated 12 VDC battery pack

3.) Voltaic 18V solar panel

4.) Stainless steel mounting bracket with stainless steel hose clamps for mounting (computer, battery, and solar panel pre-assembled on bracket)

5.) Pulsar MicroFlow velocity transducer (sensor).

Options:

1.) Stand-Alone galvanized steel mounting pole with drive-in base and corner bolt

2.) Direct-bury sensor extension wire (length dependent upon application)

3.) PVC conduit to protect wiring on stand-alone pole or existing pole
