Flow Sensors

POA Correlation Wedge Sensor

Part No. POA-V2XXK

Medium measurement range for levels up to ca. 1m

Ultrasonic sensors for flow measurement with very high accuracy in slight to heavily polluted media. For installation on channel wall or channel bottom

[Translate to English:] POA Keilsensor für Durchflussmessung mit integrierter Höhenmessung verschmutzten Medien.

[Translate to English:] POA Keilsensor zur Ermittlung des genauen Fließprofils

For high-accurate flow measurement by means of ultrasonic cross correlation method
Interference-free connection over long distances through digital signal transmission
Cables can be extended without any problems using standard cables
Absolutely stable zero point and drift-free
Measurement in heavily polluted and abrasive media
Easy installation without additional constructions and perfectly matched mounting accessories
Installation under process conditions possible
Suitable for all channel cross sections
The tailored selection of sensor constructions ensures the best possible solution for each application

POA flow velocity sensors are suitable for continuous measurement of slight to heavily polluted media.
The wedge-shaped sensors are designed for installation on either the channel wall or the channel bottom. Combined with transmitter types such as NivuFlow 750 and an external level measurement the result is a complete flow measurement system.

Typical applications for POA wedge sensors

Wastewater treatment plants: intake, discharge, activated sludge tank intakes, return sludge, recirculation, surplus sludge, digester discharge and flocculant dosage
Permanent measurements on stormwater treatment facilities such as stormwater overflow tanks, rainwater sedimentation and retention tanks
Direct discharge control, infiltration (extraneous water) or leakage detection
Industrial wastewater networks
and many more

General

Flow velocity measurement
Measurement range	-100 cm/s to +600 cm/s
Quantity of scan layers recorded and computed	max. 32
Measurement uncertainty	for 0.05≤\|V\|≤0.5 m/s: E_v=0.5/\|V\| [%] for \|V\|>0,5 m/s: E_v=1 %
Zero point drift	absolutely stable zero point
Beam angle	±5 degrees
Level measurement water-ultrasonic sensor
Measurement range	0.05 to 200 cm
Zero point drift	max. 0.75 % of final value (0 – 50 °C)
