Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter - Thermo Scientific - Process Systems - #1

Text version of the page

Product Specifications The Thermo Scientific Sarasota 2000 measures flow in rivers and open channels without causing obstruction and without the need for weirs or flumes. Its multi-path configuration and smart transducer technology ensure accurate, reliable measurement on up to four separate channels simultaneously for process optimization and capital expense reduction. Thermo Scientific Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multi-Path Flowmeter for Water and Wastewater The Thermo Scientific Sarasota 2000 ultrasonic multi-path flowmeter calculates flow directly from the measurement of water velocity and depth. This velocity-area method overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional methods of volumetric flow measurement which usually require the construction of a flume or weir. These traditional methods can be expensive, obstructive, and can ‘drown out’ in high flow conditions. For installation in rivers, open channels, or closed conduits, the Sarasota 2000 operates over the full bi-directional flow range without causing obstruction or head loss. While the most suitable applications are those where the water is relatively clean and free from weed and entrained air, Applications • Water resource management • Flood prediction • Abstraction control • Effluent monitoring • Sewage plant control • Hydroelectric power generation • Irrigation • Leak detection the Sarasota 2000 is able to meet the demands of many more challenging sites, including sewage inlet monitoring. Smart ultrasonic transducers are installed in the channel and combine with depth inputs to build an accurate flow profile. Onsite characteristics such as varying water levels, skew flow or complex channel shapes are taken into account via specific path configurations (e.g., inline, crossed, or “V”). Multidrop capability allows transducers to be connected together to minimize cabling requirements and the multichannel facility allows up to four separate channels to be monitored simultaneously to consolidate measurement applications and reduce costs.
