Rq-24: Non-contact Discharge Measurement with Radar

23 Jun, 2008

Published over 17 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Water/wastewater.

RQ-24 sensor from company Sommer enables a continual non-contact and failsafe measurement of discharge for rivers, creeks, mountain torrents, open channels or storm overflow with radar technology.

The unique feature of the RQ-24 system is the continuous and contact-free capturing of flow velocity which enables accurate discharge measurement and evaluation of specific discharge situations.

In case of flood the system measures the exact discharge and because of the non-contact radar technology there is no damage of the measurement system by bed loads or trees.

The RQ-24 system measures from very low water depth, like rivers in arid clime, up to the maximum possible discharge of a 100-year flood or even greater including floodplains.

Easy set up of measurement system at low installation cost. The RQ-24 system can be integrated into any measurement system or control system by analogue or digital interface.
