3.2 Product overview

The portable velocity system is used in the field, laboratory and municipalities. Turbulent, noisy and
low flows can be measured with this system.
The meter and sensor get velocity information in conduits and streams. These measurements are
important for calibration in municipal wastewater industries, as well as for environmental-impact
evaluations.
Two types of sensor are available: velocity-only and velocity plus depth. This manual covers both
types of sensors. If information applies to a specified type of sensor, this fact is noted in the text.
