Why are non-contact open channel flow sensors preferred by most users versus submerged style flow sensors?
The non-contact sensor eliminates accuracy problems inherent with submerged sensors including sensor disturbances, high solids content and distribution of reflectors. The non-contact sensor can also be installed and removed from street level virtually eliminating confined space entry concerns that include expensive equipment and manpower costs.
