Radar Velocity Sensor
Product Description
Description
SC8300 is a non-contact 24GHz RADAR based velocity sensor that uses Doppler Effect to produce velocity data of a moving surface. Measurement can be widely used for hydrological monitoring, flood control, and environmental pollution monitoring. Non-contact surface flow measurement is simple, free from water corrosion, silt or slurry. It also protects the safety of personnel. The velocity present on a surface is typically within 10% of the average velocity. There is an empirical algorithm that yields to an accurate determination of the average velocity from the measurement of the surface velocity at a known flume. SC8300 works not only for the usual environmental monitoring; it is particularly suited to undertake urgent and difficult observation tasks. Incorporating with GDC controller and various types of level gauges, SC8300 can be used as a cross-sectional area/velocity- based flow meter for measuring flow rate of non-standard open channel and non-full pipe.

Feature
- Non- contact measurement, no silt, slurry or polluted water impact, reduce maintenance costs.
- Extra-large measuring angle: 30 degrees to 70 degrees;
- IP68 protection, especially for waste water treatment; measurement and monitoring of sewerage pipelines or other environments;
- Variety modes of measurement: fixed on tripod on bridge or shore, fixed installation under bridge, and cableway flow measurement;
- Smart echo algorithm and software filtering to get accurate velocity value without environmental interference;
- The averaged velocity is calculated by the surface velocity based on different mathematic models;
- When combined with composite GDC level sensor, SC8300 can be used to measure flow rate of non-standard open channel and non-full pipes without primary device
