The Thermo Scientific Sarasota 2000 measures flow in rivers and open channels without causing obstruction and without the need for weirs of flumes. Its multipath configuration and smart transducer technology ensure accurate, reliable performance in critical applications such as water resource management, abstraction licensing, and flood warning. Up to four separate channels can be monitored simultaneously.
Product Detail
The Sarasota 2000 ultrasonic multipath flowmeter calculates flow directly from the measurement of water velocity and depth. This velocity-area method overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional methods of volumetric flow measurement which usually require the construction of a weir or flume. The traditional methods can be expensive and obstructive, and can 'drown out' in high flow conditions.
For installation in rivers, open channels, or closed conduits, the Sarasota 2000 operates over the full bi-directional flow range without causing obstruction or head loss. While the most suitable applications are those where the water is relatively clean and free from weed and entrained air, the Sarasota 2000 is able to meet the demands of many more challenging sites including sewage inlet monitoring.
