Water Current Meter (Cup type)

Water Current Meter (Cup type)
The Cup type Water Current Meter is manufactured as per IS specification. Current meters are velocity measuring devices that sample at a point. Each point velocity measurement is then assigned to a meaningful part of the entire cross section passing flow. Revolutions can be monitored by headset or a digital meter (both sold separately).
The velocity-area principal is used to compute discharge from current-meter data. Total discharge is determined by summation of partial discharges. Data are usually determined over a useful range of total discharges. These discharges are related to measured water surface elevations related to a fixed head measuring device to provide a rating curve.

We also supply PIGMY type water current meter specially for shallow water & low velocities measurements. It is generally used with wading rod & Counter Display / Data logger.
The calibration chart provided with the meter gives the velocity in m/sec .
