Mechanical Flow Meter

About this product

Mechanical flowmeters are ideal for general purpose flow measurements in a range of aquatic habitats. Incorporating a precision moulded rotor connected to a six-digit counter, each revolution of the impeller is registered on the mechanical display. The number of revolutions per unit of time can be translated into stream flow velocity using a conversion chart. 

Available with either a standard or low-speed rotor. Models are also available with a 1-way clutch so that the rotor can only work in one direction.

The flow meter can be attached to our  or  plankton nets. Please contact Customer Services ([email protected] or +44 (0)1803 865913) for more information or custom requests.
