Valeport BFM002 Flow Meter

The Valeport Model 001 and 002 Open Channel Flow Meters have been shown to be accurate and rugged instruments for use in hydrometric surveys. The Valeport Model 001 and 002 are supplied as standard with a set of wading rods and the option of a suspension kit. Each wading set contains three 50cm stainless steel wading rods, which are engraved in centimeters and colour coded for 1cm, 5cm, and 10cm. The suspension set contains a 35m cable and hanger bar for suspending a sinker weight if necessary. Both systems are supplied with a real time display unit.

The Valeport Model 001 and 002 Open Channel Flow Meters represent a standard in open channel flow measurement. First introduced under the “Braystoke” brand over 30 years ago, both meters use the simple premise of converting speed of rotation of the helical impeller into speed of water. Available as a wading set for hand held use in shallow water or as a hand suspension system for use from bridges or boats, the Valeport Models 001 and 002 offer a quick cost effective method of measuring flow in a variety of open channel applications.
