flow monitoring

When it comes to accurately measuring open channel flow in wastewater and stormwater applications, non-contact flow meters using radar and laser technologies offer significant advantages over traditional methods. This article explores how radar and laser flow meters operate, compares their strengths and limitations, and explains why they are ideal for challenging environments where debris, variable water levels, and maintenance concerns can affect measurement accuracy. Learn how to choose the right flow meter for your project by understanding the unique benefits of each technology and when it makes sense to combine them for optimal performance.
