The OTT® MF pro is a user-friendly, low maintenance electromagnetic flow meter for cost-efficient in-stream discharge measurement. The OTT MF pro saves time and resources in the field by automatically calculating discharge (based on USGS and ISO methods) and graphing velocity data in real-time, allowing trends to be visualized quickly. The rod-mounted meter with color screen captures all data, allowing measurements to be taken by one person and eliminating the need for handwritten calculations or post-measurement data correction.
A small, detachable electromagnetic sensor is ideal for use in low-flow environments by eliminating the need for minimum velocity requirements, and measurements are taken directly at the sensor head rather than from a sample volume farther away. The electromagne- tic sensor has no moving parts, is virtually maintenance-free, and requires no calibration, un- like mechanical meters.
Additionally, electromagnetic sensors are preferred for use in conditions with large amounts of organic matter as their magnetic inductive measurement principle is not affected by organic matter in the sampling area like acoustic or mechanical meters. Electromagnetic sensors are a cost-effective option for budget-conscious monitoring organizations, making the OTT MF pro a practical choice for discharge measurement in a variety of environmental applications.
