Flow Sensors

POA Correlation Pipe Sensor

Part No. POA-V2XXR

Medium measurement range for levels up to ca. 1m

Cross correlation sensors for flow velocity and level detection in part filled and full pipes and channels. For installation in pipes

Description
  • For high-accurate flow measurement 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

 

POA flow velocity sensors are suitable for continuous measurement of slight to heavily polluted media.
The pipe-shaped sensors are designed for installation in pipes from the outside using a nozzle. 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 pipe sensors

  • Stormwater treatment plants: flow measurements and control of the discharge to the WWTP
  • Wastewater treatment plants: intake, discharge, activated sludge tank intakes, return sludge, recirculation, surplus sludge, digester discharge and flocculant dosage
  • Direct discharge control, infiltration (extraneous water) or leakage detection
  • Industrial wastewater networks
  • and many more
