DOF6000 Series Ultrasonic Doppler Open Channel Flowmeter Manual P ART 2 Operating Principles 1 B 1 B 1 B 1 B DOF6000Transducer measures velocity, depth and temperature. The measured data are scaled and processed during presentation and processing. Connect DOF6000Transducer to Flow Calculator DOF6000, Flow Calculator can get measured data and display level, velocity, flow rate and total flow.
DOF6000 Series Ultrasonic Doppler Open Channel Flowmeter Manual • Coherent (or profiling) Dopplers transmit encoded pulses with the carrier frequency at target locations, and only measure signals reflected from these targets. This allows the velocity in a stream to be profiled. These instruments are complex and expensive.
DOF6000 Series Ultrasonic Doppler Open Channel Flowmeter Manual This calibration factor may be adjusted for other conditions. For example, the calibration factor for sea water is 0.5618mm/sec/Hz. The speed of sound varies significantly with water density. Water density is dependent on pressure, water temperature, salinity and sediment content.

DOF6000 Series Ultrasonic Doppler Open Channel Flowmeter Manual 2 .5 Factors Affecting Data Accuracy 1 8 B 1 8 B 1 7 B 1 9 B DOF6000 Transducer measures velocity to an accuracy of ±2% and depth to ±0.25% of calibrated range. This is logged to a resolution of 1 mm/sec and 1mm respectively.
DOF6000 Series Ultrasonic Doppler Open Channel Flowmeter Manual In larger channels only the area adjacent to transducer will be “seen” and the relationship will depend on how this portion relates to the vertical and horizontal velocity distribution in the channel. An instrument located in the centre of the stream would normally be in a higher velocity area.
