AVFM 6.1 Area-Velocity Flow Meter

Brand: Pulsar Measurement

The Area Velocity Flow Measurement method is the most common method of all flow measurements. 

The AVFM 6.1 Area Velocity Flow Meter uses a submersible ultrasonic sensor measuring both the level and velocity of flowing liquid to calculate flow measurement in an open channel or pipe. 

The sensors are mounted either inside a pipe or at the bottom of a channel, and the sensor is built to resist fouling, corrosion, and abrasion. 

The AVFM 6.1 Area Velocity Flow Meter can be configured with the standard submerged velocity-level sensor or with submerged velocity in combination with a separate non-contacting ultrasonic level sensor, which is suitable for highly aerated fluids or those with a high concentration of suspended solids.

Its easy-to-use, menu-driven setup means that the AVFM 6.1 Area-Velocity Flow Meter is just minutes away from giving you that all-important flow measurement result.
Features
  • No flume or weir required – submersible ultrasonic sensor measures velocity and level simultaneously to calculate flow. No moving parts to wear, foul, or clog
  • The built-in 5-button keypad, intuitive menu, and large backlit LCD display make the Greyline AVFM 6.1 the most operator-friendly area velocity flow meter on the market
  • Fast, simple, installation and set-up
  • Improved performance in a wider range of operating conditions
  • At a glance, view flow rate, velocity, level, totalizer, relay status, and important diagnostic information on the LCD display
  • Three isolated 4-20 mA outputs for flow rate, velocity, and level, and two relay outputs for pulse output or alarm
  • 6.5 million point data logger for greater flexibility of data monitoring, control, and reporting
  • Min, Max, and Total Flow data from the last 365 days is available on the LCD display, or download directly to a USB for easy reporting
  • Monitors flow rate, volume total, run hours, and diagnostic information through only two wires with the optional Modbus RTU serial communication output
