RoF Indicator (Capacitance based)

For measuring flow of liquids in open channel

The Rate of Open Channel Flow indicator is a microprocessor-based instrument that measures the flow of liquid in open channels. The instrument can be configured to measure the level or the flow rate and provides a 4-20mA output corresponding to the selected parameter

Features

  • Indication of flow rate and level in % and in engineering units
  • 4-20 mA output corresponding to flow or level
  • Built-in Diagnostics.
  • 4 Key keyboard for easy configuration
  • Remote Monitoring
  • Available with Differential head Indicator in common housing

The complete measuring system consists of:

The Probe:  The Probe is the active element of the system that goes in the stilling  pipe / channel from top and is in contact with the fluid whose flow rate is to be indicated.

RoF Indicator : The indicator receives voltage signal corresponding to the level/height of  fluid in the channel/pipe and converts it into digital data. The RoF is calculated using the formula:

Q = K*L

Here, Q is Rate of Flow in CuM / Hr, L is Level in Meters, K & n are constants; depending on the hydraulic measuring device.

The flow rate is displayed on the LED display. The constants, display selection & alarm can be entered through the keyboard.
