Page 5: Average Velocity
Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com f. The average velocity (calculated with the Flow Probe in feet/second) times the cross-sectional area (square feet) equals flow in cubic feet per second (cfs), or Q = V x A. g. If the propeller gets fouled while measuring flow, clean it until the prop turns freely and start over. - Page 6 Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com The Flow Probe uses true velocity averaging. When the average and maximum velocities are zeroed by pushing the top button, a running average is started. As long as the probe remains in the flow, the averaging continues.
