Standard Flowmeter

About this product

An easy-to-use flowmeter with a resettable LCD counter. Ideal for college field trips, student projects, practical river irrigation studies and water resource management. This flowmeter comes with an instruction book, maintenance, conversion and calibration charts, and guidance for fieldwork projects.

The flowmeter works by electronically sensing the revolutions of an impeller. The number of revolutions per unit of time can be translated into stream flow velocity using a conversion chart. The impeller sticks have been accurately calibrated in a flume tank. The flowmeter is powered by long life batteries (included) and is supplied in a corrugated plastic case.
