Magmeter
Shenitech’s new Digital Mag888 flowmeter uses leading-edge digital signal processing and electromagnetic sensor technologies for accuracy and performance. The converter measures bidirectional flow and totalizes the flow in both forward and reverse directions separately. The meter monitors difficult flow such as raw waste, sludge, river water, pulp and even dredging flow, within a 0.3~0.5% degree of accuracy.

Ultrasonic level, flow meter
The new Eagle Microsystems USL-1000 Ultrasonic Level Systems can be configured for accurate measurement of tank level (USL-1000) or open channel flow (USF-1000). The system uses a precision ultrasonic transducer coupled with a simple-to-use digital readout instrument. The instrument can be used for measurement and display of bulk storage tank level or volume, or open channel flow using any common head producer such as a rectangular or V-notch weir or Parshall flume. The all-PVC ultrasonic sensor is suitable for most water and wastewater applications.

Level sensor
Automata’s Bubbler is designed to facilitate water level measurement without the need to immerse instruments into the water. The end of the tubing is placed at a known depth below the water surface that is to be measured. The pressure required to force bubbles out of the end of the tube equals the hydrostatic head of water above the end of the tube. It is easy to use and only the tubing is submerged. The device can be connected to Automata’s MINI-SAT™ or MINI-SS Field Station and the user can view the data either by Internet or personal computer depending on the telemetry of each field station.
