Of rugged design and made of high-quality materials, the current meter can be used even under extreme conditions. ‘The reliable instrument approved by many years’ practical experience under hard conditions - world wide.

Universal application on different fixing devices for use on rod or as cable-suspended meter equipment. © Function ‘The meter propeller gets tuned by the flow. A magnet turning with the propelisr actuates, once per revoluton, the buit-in Reed contact which is watertight under pressure. “The pulse sequence is nearly proportional to water velocity jn the measuring point ‘The exact relation between the number of propeller revolutions per second and the water velocty is determined by the equation = propeller ravolution per second. k= hydraulic pitch (rm), determined by test runs in the modern rating tank A= meter constant (rmisec.), determined by test runs in the modem rating tank Since among current motors there are mechanical differen- es in the propellers as well as in the bearings, constants k ‘and A are found by specific tests in our own rating tank (Cerificate of calibration BARGO) WW desired, tho cali equation (relation between a and ¥) can also be supplied with uly calculated value and compiled in a table (Velocity table BAREL) For more particulars regarding the calibration of current meters, s2e folder HLE 120/14 If the requirements of accuracy are not so high it is also possible to supply an average equation for the plastic propellers, which is established on the base of several Individual caliration equations. 2O Measuring Range Depending on the pitch of the propeller chosen, the current meter can be used for different velocity meacuting ranges. In case of oblique water currents It Is possible to measure the component of the flow within an angular range which depends on the type of propeller (600 table). 125mm dia; 0,25 m pitch 125mm dia; 0,25 m pitch 125 mm dia.; 0,50 m pitch 125mm da.; 0,50 m pitch 125mm dia.; 1,00 mpitch 80 mm dia; 0,125 m pitch 4100 mm dia.; 0,125 m pitch 100mm dia; 0,25 mitch ew ea 5,0 50 60 6.0 100 30 25 5.0 0,025 0.035 0,040 0,060 0.085 0,040 0,090 0,035 Py = e = e e as 16 Brass Plastic Brase Plastic Brass Brass Brass Aluminium “Tris max. velosty can only be measured by means ofthe Z 216 counter set which has a counting rate of up o 20 revolutions per s8cond OPossibilities of Application Current meter on Rod For measurements in smaf rivulets and low-level waters urith slow flowing speed the C 31 current meter io used in combination with a rod, The two standard methods of fixing the current meter to the rod are the folowing: Direct fixing on the rod 20 mm dia.
