Description

The Model 106 Current Meter is a light weight cost effective impeller current meter designed for real time current measurement or short to medium term autonomous deployments. Titanium construction ensures durability and the optional temperature and pressure sensors increase the versatility of the instrument. Ideal for use in rivers and coastal applications or from small boats the Model 106 is simple to use with either the Windows based PC software supplied or an optional dedicated display unit.

  1. Lightweight and Cost-Effective Design: The Model 106 flow meter offers a low-cost, lightweight alternative to larger flow meters, making it ideal for applications where superior durability and depth rating are not required. Its compact size and reduced weight enhance portability and ease of handling, without compromising on performance.

  2. Durable Construction: Manufactured from titanium and polymers, the Model 106 flow meter provides excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments. This durable construction enhances the instrument's lifespan and reliability, making it suitable for a variety of marine and environmental monitoring applications.

  3. Versatile Measurement Parameters: Equipped with standard speed and direction parameters, the Model 106 flow meter offers versatility in data collection. Additionally, users have the option to include temperature and depth measurements, providing comprehensive data for a wide range of applications. Whether logging data or transmitting in real-time, the instrument's compatibility with Valeport's DataLog™ software ensures seamless data analysis and interpretation.
