Radar Flow Meter

FS-LDLL-001 Radar Flow Meter is a sensor designed for measuring water surface velocity and flow in open water bodies. The ranging radar unit adopts FMCW (Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave) technology, while the velocity radar operates at 24 GHz. The measurement point is located in front of the device, ensuring non-intrusive measurement without disturbing the flow field, resulting in high accuracy and excellent linearity.

With no moving parts, the sensor is resistant to sediment blockage, aquatic vegetation interference, and debris entanglement. The robust probe design ensures reliable long-term operation in harsh environments, including rivers with high sediment concentration, abundant floating vegetation, and severe winter icing conditions.

This radar flow meter is widely used for flow monitoring in hydrological stations, irrigation secondary channels, stormwater and wastewater pipe networks, and natural rivers.
