Small, lightweight mechanical current velocity meter, suitable for measurements in rivers, channels, sewage systems, pipes, and more. Complete with line attachment and case.
This mechanical current velocity meter has a measuring range of approximately 0.3 - 25.9ft. (0.1 - 7.9 m)/s. Suspended from a wire, the meter can be applied at great depth.
The meter is balanced in such a way that it will remain in a horizontal position even if it's pulled at speed by a line. The propeller is linked directly to a six digit counter, placed within the instrument, that registers and visualises every single rotation of the propeller, similar to the mileage counter in a car.
After retrieval it is possible to read the overall number of rotations of the propeller on the counter through a clear synthetic window. The meter can be mounted to a wire as well as to a telescopic rod (with an extended length of 7.9 feet/2.4 meter).
Applications
Note: not suitable for professional measurements in slow running waters.
