BELUGA™
Open Channel Ultrasonic Digital
Doppler Flow Meter Sensor
The BELUGA™ is the newest ultrasonic Doppler area/velocity flow
meter sensor for open channel flow measurements from Flow-
Tronic. The new sensor combines advanced digital Doppler
ultrasonic velocity sensing technology with most modern and
powerful DSP processor technology allowing real-time spectral
analysis of the velocity distribution through the cross-sectional area.
Use the BELUGA™ in combination with the RTQ flow logger series
for portable monitoring and for permanent monitoring with the IFQ
Monitor or UNI-TRANS™ which display flow rate, velocity, level
and much more.

Flow Measurement
Method: Conversion from measured velocity to average
velocity based on integrated spectral analysis of
the velocity distribution in the cross-sectional area.
Conversion of water level and pipe size to fluid
area. Multiplication of fluid area by average
velocity to obtain the flow rate.
Conversion Accuracy:
