The AI.FCC Series is the ideal, cost-effective solution for measuring flow in open-surface or non-pressurized pipes. Designed to be inserted directly into existing pipes or inspection chambers, these channels transform a common pipeline into a precise and reliable monitoring system.
Why choose the AI.FCC Series?
Unlike more complex systems, circular channels offer quick and cost-effective installation. They use a calibrated restriction that raises the upstream fluid level. This water level, detected by a sensor, allows for instant flow rate calculations with accuracy comparable to Venturi systems, but with significantly lower installation costs and a smaller footprint.
Main Features
Versatile Installation: Perfect for underground pipes accessible through manholes or inspection hatches.
Wide Diameter Range: Available for pipes from DN100 (4") to DN800 (32").
High Precision: Consistent measurement accuracy under optimal flow conditions (recommended slope less than 1%).
Integrated Monitoring (4FCC Series): Can be combined with management electronics with USB data logger for complete measurement traceability for up to 8 years.
Minimal Maintenance: The design with no moving parts and a shape that limits accumulation eliminates periodic maintenance.

Installation Notes
The channel can be inserted by creating a "window" in the upper part of the pipe. For the DN200, DN300, DN500 and DN800 models, special adjustable spacers are included to perfectly adapt the channel to the internal diameter of the existing pipe.
