Mechanical Current Meter (13.14)

The mechanical current velocity meter is a small, lightweight instrument designed for water flow measurements. It converts propeller rotations into readable data through an internal counter mechanism, working much like an automotive odometer. Its stainless-steel construction is corrosion-resistant and suited to great-depth applications.

Key Features

• Compact, small and lightweight design
• Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel construction
• Suitable for great-depth applications
• Balanced for dynamic stability, keeping the instrument horizontal during use
• Six-digit counter, visible through a synthetic window

Applications

• Irrigation research
• Water-quantity monitoring and research
• Discharge measurement
• Rivers, canals, sewage systems and pipes

Note: not recommended for professional measurements in slow-moving water bodies — for those, consider the Current Meter with Synthetic Propeller (13.12) or the Model 801 Electromagnetic Flow Meter.
