Discharge measuring system TQ-F

opticalfor watercoursemobile

The discharge measurement is performed by using the well-established tracer-dilution method and is especially suitable for high volumes of water. The system can be deployed in turbulent rivers, creeks or waters for which data regarding the cross-section profile are not available or unknown. It is used a fluorescent material as tracer. After insertion of a known amount of tracer material two optical fluorescence probes automatically determine the discharge. This way high plausibility and accurate results can be guaranteed. Features and advantages - Simple, mobile discharge measurement - Reliable results even without knowledge and independent of the cross-section profile - Suitable for fast-flowing, turbulent waters or where access is limited - Applied especially with water amounts of several m³/s - Environmentally friendly, harmless for water - Discharge values immediately available - Easy transmission of measurement data form the sensor to receiving device via Bluetooth - Convenient receiving of data on laptop - Real-time visualisation of measurement data - User-friendly guidance through the measurement by the included software TQ-Commander - Simultaneous measurement with up to four probes - Tracer material: fluorescence (fluorescein or similar) - Probe type: optical fluorescence probe - Compact and convenient: complete equipment securely packed in two cases FIELDS OF APPLICATION The TQ-Tracer system is especially suitable for fast-flowing, turbulent waters with complex cross sections, for example mountain streams, small brooks, tributaries or even fish passes.
