Model 001 Flow Meter
Ease of operation makes the Valeport Water ‘Braystoke’ Model 001 flowmeter ideal for field study use and an invaluable tool for hydrometric work.
Ease of operation makes the Valeport Water ‘Braystoke’ Model 001 flowmeter ideal for field study use and an invaluable tool for hydrometric work.
It provides a cost-effective and reliable method of monitoring flow in a variety of environments, including salt, fresh and effluent water, from shallow streams to tidal waterways. The meter benefits from the design of the impeller bearings, which give low threshold velocity and consistent performance. Available as either wading or a suspension set, all systems are supplied with the Model 0012B real-time control display unit.

Calibration
The instrument is offered as standard with a “Group Calibration”, according to BS ISO 2537:2007.
Within limits, the performance of an impeller is primarily a function of its shape, provided that its bearings work and it is spinning freely. Since all our impellers are manufactured to the same standard shape, we guarantee that they fall within the tolerances of the group calibration, as given above.
Note that the Group Calibration for each impeller is up to 3 m/s - calibration above 3 m/s is by linear extrapolation. Specific calibration of any individual impeller may be performed on request, at Valeport’s own premises up to 1m/s, or through a third party for higher speeds.
Data Acquisition
The Model 001 Flow Meter is supplied with a dedicated surface display unit, the Model 0012B. As the impeller rotates, it opens and closes a magnetic reed switch, generating pulses. The Model 0012B measures the frequency of these pulses, and uses the calibration equation to calculate speed of flow from the pulse frequency.
Data may be averaged over any number of seconds from 1 to 600, or according to number of impeller revolutions. The Model 0012B will display real time speed data, as well as the result of the data average, together with a Standard Deviation figure to give added data confidence. A solid-state memory records all results, and the data may be downloaded to PC using the RS232 interface lead supplied.
Configurations
The Model 001 is available in two standard configurations:
Software
System is supplied with CDU Express Windows based PC software, for data extraction from display unit. CDU Express is licence free.
