Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Meter for River & Open Channel Flow Monitoring | Water Level & Velocity Sensor System

High-precision ultrasonic Doppler flow meter for rivers, channels, reservoirs, and pipelines. Measures flow velocity, water level, and temperature for hydrological monitoring and flood management systems.

Product Introduction

The KH.DPL Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Meter is a high-precision hydrological instrument designed for continuous measurement of flow velocity, water level, and discharge in rivers, open channels, reservoirs, and pipeline systems.

It combines ultrasonic Doppler velocity measurement with ultrasonic or pressure-based water level detection to calculate real-time flow rates with high accuracy.

This system is widely used in hydrological monitoring stations, flood early warning systems, river flow analysis networks, and smart water resource management platforms, providing stable multi-parameter data for environmental and hydrological applications.

How It Works

The system uses two measurement principles:

  • Doppler effect to measure flow velocity
  • Ultrasonic or pressure sensing to measure water level

Flow rate is calculated using cross-sectional geometry and real-time sensor data.

This ensures:

  • Continuous multi-parameter monitoring
  • Stable operation in natural water conditions
  • Accurate flow computation for hydrological analysis

Key Features

1. Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Measurement

Uses Doppler frequency shift to accurately measure flow velocity in rivers and open channels.

2. Multi-Parameter Monitoring Capability

Simultaneously measures:

  • Flow velocity

  • Water level

  • Temperature

  • Instantaneous and cumulative flow

3. High Accuracy & Stability

Velocity accuracy down to 1 mm/s and water level precision up to 1 mm (within 2 m range).

4. Maintenance-Free Operation

No moving parts or consumables required, ensuring long-term stable deployment.

5. IP68 Industrial Protection Design

Waterproof and corrosion-resistant structure suitable for long-term outdoor hydrological environments.

6. Compact & Easy Deployment

Lightweight design allows fast installation in rivers, channels, and hydrological monitoring stations.
