Measuring Flow in Partially-Full Pipes

Measuring Flow in Partially-Full Pipes

There are countless numbers of pipes across irrigation districts and individual irrigation farming enterprises that do not run full all the time. Whilst from a measurement perspective it is preferable to measure flow in a full pipe, from a practical viewpoint it is often either difficult to achieve full flow under all conditions or just not economic to change.

With the use of a MACE combined depth/velocity sensor the MACE AgriFlo allows the user to measure flows in pipes from 6" to 100" in diameter (150 to 2.5 m). When coupled with the patented MACE polypropylene mounting strap, a sensor can be installed in literally seconds. This enables the user to use the AgriFlo for permanent metering or for more temporary monitoring.

With the ability to measure flow in multiple pipes, the MACE AgriFlo is an even more affordable option where the user needs to measure flow in different pipes at the same time.
