Featured Open Channel Flow Equipment
FLO-DAR® Sensor
By capturing data from above the flow, the Hach FLO-DAR Flow Sensor eliminates direct contact with wastewater and ensures repeatable, accurate readings even in the toughest conditions. FLO-DAR combines cutting-edge doppler radar velocity-sensing with ultrasonic level measurement to redefine open-channel flow monitoring.
The FLO-DAR excels in challenging applications with high solids, shallow flows, extreme temperatures, caustic flows, large man-made channels, and velocities up to 20 ft/s. Designed for wastewater utility operators, FLO-DAR delivers precise flow data without compromising on durability, making it a trusted choice for dependable performance.
FL900 Flow Logger
The Hach FL900 Series Flow Logger combines an innovative flow metering device with a family of sensor technologies to revolutionize open-channel flow monitoring; these state-of-the-art ultrasonic sensors are excellent solutions for non-contact flow metering.
An ideal choice for level measurement and level alarming, the FL900 Series Flow Logger can also be used as a redundant level measurement system with an integrated area/velocity sensor. The FL900 Series Flow Logger provides wastewater operators with a reliable solution for any sewer flow measurement challenge.
FH950 Portable Flow Meter
Designed for use in both environmental and sewer/wastewater flow measurement scenarios, the FH950 Portable Flow Meter is a truly handheld flow meter designed for the convenience of any water operator.
The intelligent FH950 Portable Flow Meter is a lightweight, electromagnetic device that contains no moving parts and requires no mechanical maintenance. It is battery-powered and can provide velocity & depth flow readings for accurate velocity and depth measurements while simplifying the entire measurement process in rugged field environments.
