Precipitation discharge measurements

The Mini sensor family provides the best possible sensors to detect lowest flow levels e.g. for infiltration measurement (extraneous water) or indirect discharge measurement.
The sensors use the proven ultrasonic cross correlation method patented by NIVUS. This method allows to detect and to indicate flow profiles starting at flow levels as low as a few centimeters.

Due to their shape the sensors are particularly suitable for small geometries and help to avoid backwater effects, the risk of build-up and clogging.

Typical applications for Mini sensors

Measurement campaigns in channel networks
Small WWTPs: intake and discharge
Industrial wastewater networks
Particularly suitable for channels featuring low flow levels
