Flow Measurement
The flowmeters most often used by our experts are those based on height and velocity. The flowmeter measures flow velocity by the Doppler effect whereby a pressure sensor installed on another sensor to obtain a water column height measurement. These two parameters combined with the pipe’s geometry make it possible to determine pipe flow.
Flow measurements can be used in various contexts:
- When assessing the flow of extraneous water in a sanitary sewer system. In this situation, the precipitation measured using a rain gauge is very important for analyzing pipe flow. By measuring the intensity of precipitation, we can determine the impact of rain on flow in the sanitary sewer system.
- When measuring flow in dry weather on a sewer pipe, either before and after the pipe is rehabilitated or replaced.
- When calibrating a hydraulic model of a sewer system and overflow structures.
