The RAVEN-EYE® is the new non-contact RADAR area/velocity flow meter for open channel flow measurements from Flow-Tronic. It combines state of the art non-contact measuring technology which measures flow from above the water surface with easy integration into existing SCADA or telemetry systems.
The combination of these benefits and virtually zero maintenance requirements, give the user a very low “Cost of Ownership”.
The RAVEN-EYE® is mounted above the water surface and measures the flow velocity using the radar technology and the flow depth using a level sensor (ultrasonic, radar or pressure). The flow rate is calculated applying the continuity equation: Q = V x A
The RAVEN-EYE® will function even when obscured by plastic and wood. During each measurement cycle, it makes thousands of velocity measurements which are processed into an extremely accurate average velocity measurement reading using a dedicated digital signal processor making real-time spectral analysis.
