SOFTWARE
The Model 001 Flow Meter represent a standard in open channel flow
measurement. First introduced under the “Braystoke” brand over 30
years ago, both meters use the simple premise of converting speed of
rotation of the helical impeller into speed of water.
Available as a wading set for hand held use in shallow water, or as a

hand-suspension system for use from bridges or boats, the Model 001
offer a quick, cost-effective method of measuring flow in a variety of
open channel applications.

Data Acquisition
0001050 Top Setting Wading Rods
The Model 001 Flow Meter is supplied with a dedicated surface display
unit, the Model 0012B. As the impeller rotates, it opens and closes a
magnetic reed switch, generating pulses. The Model 0012B measures
the frequency of these pulses, and uses the calibration equation to Key Spares
calculate speed of flow from the pulse frequency.
