Type 810 ATEX Doppler Velocity Flowmeter

Valeport’s Type 810 is a self-contained continuous wave doppler flowmeter that offers industry-standard performance coupled with robust build quality and reliability, all backed up by Valeport’s exceptional customer service and support mechanisms.

It incorporates all of the low noise electronics to drive propriety Digital
Signal Processing techniques that provide measurements in both waste
and clean water with flow rates as low as 0.01ms-1 and up to 5 ms-1. Even
in very shallow water (0.15 to 0.20m) accuracies of better than 0.01ms-1
can be achieved.

The Type 810 has its own height | surface lookup tables. With a real-time
height data interface (Modbus or SDI-12), flow can be calculated directly.
Used stand-alone or as part of an integrated solution the Type 810 is
compatible with 3rd party data loggers, telemetry and SCADA systems:
• SDI-12 | RS232 | RS485-Modbus RTU direct from the unit.

The Type 810 derives a quality figure for the calculated flow measurement

The level of integrity of flow measurement is calculated using two factors:
Flow Balance and Signal Level. The Flow Balance is an indication of
how laminar the flow is, while the Signal Level is the spread of point
measurements compared to the final calculated flow value over a period
of observation. A quick, simple metric that gives you confidence in the
system’s performance.

Technical Specifications

Sensor

The Type 810 Flowmeter measures the flow of water
using the principle of Doppler shift. A signal of 1MHz
is transmitted from a dedicated transmit transducer,
the reflected signal is received at a dedicated receive
transducer. The change in frequency is resolved using DSP techniques and a flow speed determined.
The speed of sound in water, important for accurate
doppler shift determination, can be a fixed value or constantly updated through temperature observation and a user defined conductivity value.
