Description

Für Durchflussmessungen mit sehr hoher Genauigkeit durch <link 330 _blank internal-link>Ultraschall-Kreuzkorrelationsverfahren</link>

  • Fremdwassermessungen
  • Einleiterkontrollen
  • Verrechnungsmessstellen
  • Entlastungsanlagen
  • Niederschlag-Abfluss-Messungen

Die Sensorfamilie Mini bietet die optimale Sensorik zur Erfassung geringster Abflüsse, wie z.B. für Fremdwassermessungen oder Indirekteinleitermessungen. Als Messverfahren kommt die NIVUS-patentierte und bewährte Ultraschall-Kreuzkorrelation zum Einsatz. Diese ermöglicht die Erfassung und Anzeige des Fließprofils bereits ab wenigen Zentimetern Füllstand.

Die Bauform der Sensoren eignet sich besonders für kleine Geometrien und verringert Rückstaueffekte, Verzopfungs- und Blockierungsgefahren.

Typische Anwendungen für den Minisensor

  • Messkampagnen im Kanalnetz
  • Kleinkäranlagen: Zulauf und Ablauf
  • Industrielle Abwassernetze
  • Besonders für Kanäle mit geringen Füllständen geeignet
