RDFM Non-Contact Radar Open Channel Flowmeter

RDFM Non-Contact Radar Flowmeter for Open Channels

The Radar Open Channel Flowmeter utilizes advanced FMCW millimeter-wave radar technology for accurate, non-contact flow velocity and liquid level measurements in open channels. With a flow velocity measurement range of 0.1~2m/s and a liquid level range of 0.2~12m, it offers ±0.01m/s accuracy for velocity and ±0.01m for liquid level. The system features 24GHz radar for flow velocity and 60GHz radar for liquid level, providing high precision and fast response times of 5~60 seconds.

Designed for harsh environments, it is fully protected with an IP65 enclosure, ensuring reliable operation in rain, dust, and extreme temperatures. The device is unaffected by sediment, foam, or debris, making it ideal for applications in agricultural irrigation, hydroecology, and flood monitoring.
