The liquid flow sensor BT40i (replaces the 0387i) measures the velocity of flowing water. The sensor can be used to study water throughput, flow patterns and sediment transport in flowing water. The flow rate of water can also tell us something about the ecosystem, especially about the plants and animals that may live in the water. The Fluid Flow Sensor features a paddle wheel attached to a dipstick with 5 metres of cable. To assemble the sensor, one unfolds the four parts of the dipstick and slides them together until they snap into place. The sensor comes with three plastic risers (short, medium and long), which can be used to position the paddlewheel at a fixed height from the ground. The total length of the gauge is 1.5 m.
The Liquid Flow Sensor can be used for the following experiments, among others:
- Calculating the flow volume
- Determining the transport velocity of sediments
- Comparison of flow velocity at different locations in a stream
The Liquid Flow Sensor can be connected directly to the analogue inputs of the CMA interfaces.
