4200 Series  Flow Meters-7

4220 Submerged Probe—ideal for sites where wind, steam, foam, or turbulence exist. The probe is mounted at the bottom of the channel and measures the pressure of the liquid above the probe to determine the depth of the flow stream. The 4220 converts the level reading into flow rate. 4230 Bubbler—resists damage by lightning, debris, and corrosive flow stream chemicals. The 4230 uses an internal air compressor to force air from a bubble tube submerged in the flow stream. The depth of the flow is determined by measuring the pressure needed to force bubbles out of the line. The 4230 then converts...

Flow Meter The 4210 Ultrasonic provides non-contact sensing of the flow over a weir. The sensor on the 4210 Ultrasonic Flow Meter is mounted above the flow stream. It transmits a sound pulse that is reflected by the surface of the flow. The elapsed time between sending a pulse and receiving an echo determines the level in the channel. A built-in temperature sensor automatically compensates for changes in air temperature to ensure measurement accuracy. Accurate Under Tough Conditions The 4210 automatically adjusts amplifier gain in response to echo strength. This patented* technology maximizes...
