CSM Correlation Wedge Sensor

Name: CSM Correlation Wedge Sensor
Brand: NIVUS
Availability: InStock

The Mini sensor family provides the best possible sensors to detect lowest flow levels e.g. for infiltration measurement (extraneous water) or indirect discharge measurement. The sensors use the proven ultrasonic cross correlation method patented by NIVUS. This method allows to detect and to indicate flow profiles starting at flow levels as low as a few centimeters. Due to their shape the sensors are particularly suitable for small geometries and help to avoid backwater effects, the risk of build-up and clogging
