SGM-600F
Area velocity flowmeter
Flow measurements in open channels.
No need for a hydraulic primary.
4 ÷ 20mA analogue output.
MODBUS RTU communication port.
16GB SD card datalogger.
Up to 20 points for the configuration of the irregular profile of a channel.
Flowmeter for open-air ducts and open channels with the possibility of satisfying the most varied channel geometries. The system is able to receive the average speed by ultrasonic doppler method and to read the level of the hydraulic head by means of a hydrostatic detector. The system is also applicable in situations of heavy submergence or regurgitation (Q = average V for wet area). SGM-600 is installed without the need for hydraulic modelers such as venturi or weir.
The SGM-600F is suitable for flow measurement in partially filled pipes, drainage channels, man-made channels, waterways, drainage ducts, etc. The instrument is composed of a flow calculator, a speed transducer (with a doppler effect) and level. SGM-600F can display speed, level, flow rate and totalizer. It can record flow and total flow data on an SD card up to 16 GB.
SGM-600F can calculate the cross-sectional area of partially filled pipes, open channel or river, and up to 20 coordinate points can be entered to describe cross-section of the river or channel with irregular shape. The velocity and level transducer integrates in it the instruments for measuring water speed, depth and temperature.
SGM-600F is an indispensable instrument for flow measurement in all those applications where there is no hydraulic projection in the channel
or in the pipe.

BS VENTURI
BS Venturi hydraulic modeler
Installation in rectangular channels.
Flow rates 1 ÷ >7700 m3/h.
Low load losses.
Matching to all SGM-LEKTRA systems for flow measurement in open channels.
SGM-LEKTRA has developed its own flumes family called BS… in co-operation with the Pavia University Hydraulic Division. BS flume is a special Venturi with flat bottom and ready to be lodged in a pre-existing rectangular channel. BS VENTURI are suitable for use in irrigation systems, industrial waste water treatment, sewage, and in general for turbid waters; the flat bottom without protrusions has a self-cleaning effect, does not favor the debris deposit and can be easily inserted in rectangular ducts existing.
The submerged flow (ratio from downstream head and upperstream head) can be well tolerated. The practical limit of submergence for all sizes is about 90%.

Datalogger on USB Pen Drive
The flow measurement in open channels with the hydraulic projection method is carried out with the use, inside the channel or partially filled pipe, of a hydraulic modeller (BS – venturi / PB channels – palmer bowlus), a probe for the Level measurement (in this case ultrasound (PTU50; PTU51, without contact with the liquid itself) and an associated control unit (VLW90M) VLW90M is suitable for a direct connection of 1 or 2 MODBUS ultrasound sensors. Thanks to this feature, the CA400 system is able to simultaneously perform two independent flow measurements with ultrasonic sensors and different hydraulic modellers for each type of channel. Logger “based on removable PenDrive, allows the total traceability of flow measurements in open channels for which it is very easy to analyze the time profile of the instantaneous flow rate.

IP68
FLOW51 is a compact IP68 ultrasonic flow transmitter, suitable for the installation in flood-prone wells. The measurement is based on the principle of the raising of the water level before restriction, which is used to calculate the value of instantaneous flow in relation of the type of the existing flume.
FLOW51 can be calibrated via MODBUS RTU or VLW601 if used with SGM LEKTRA Venturi flumes, Palmer Bowlus, Parshall flumes, Khafagi Venturi flumes and all the main types of weirs. In case of non-standard flumes the unit can be calibrated by following the linearization table present on the manual or by using a customized flow formula.

PB
Hydraulic modeler
For flow measurement in outflow pipe or no pressurized pipes
Direct installation in the pipe or manhole
Flow rates from 0,45 m3/h to 1800m3/h
Matching Sets with all SGM-LEKTRA open
channels flow measurement systems
Low cost system
Ideal to circular duct flowrate measure
Essentially a hydraulic modeler designed to increase, upstream of the restriction, the fluid head during its outflow. The Palmer-Bowlus upstream
fluid head, increases or decreases in function of the fluid quantity flowing over it.
The head measured by a level transmitter is then used to calculate the instantaneous flow rate value. The Palmer-Bowlus is mainly used in pipes or ducts accessible through the manholes.
The easy installation, and the contained installation cost, are the reason for the applications number increasing of this system to measure the flow rate.
