Metering Water Flowing through a Road Culvert

Metering Water Flowing through a Road Culvert

Most irrigation and water districts have countless numbers of road crossings through which channels are flowing. They can take the shape of a typically "boxed" section or a round pipe (both full or partially full). Road culverts therefore, provide an extremely precise cross-section through which to measure flow.

The flexibility of the MACE FloPro for measuring these flows can not be overstated. No matter whether the culvert is "boxed" or "piped", flowing partially full or completely full, there is a sensor configuration ideally suited. With the free software configuration tools FloCalc and FloCom+, the user can simply enter the correct channel dimensions into the FloPro electronics module.

With the ability to measure flow in multiple pipes or culverts, the MACE FloPro is an extremely affordable option where the user needs to measure flow under a road crossing with multiple (up to three) cross-sections.
