Open Channel Flow Measurement System

MCU90F & MSP900 Series

Mobrey MCU/MSP ultrasonic level measurement and control systems for level and flow applications have a long and successful history in open channel flow measurement and logging. The MCU90F is the latest addition to this family and is a dedicated open channel flow meter and control unit based upon the highly successful MCULOG.

A Solartron Mobrey open channel flow measurement system comprises an MCU90F control unit and a 4-20mA, HART loop powered MSP900 series ultrasonic level transmitter. A 9700 hydrostatic electronic level transmitter may also be used.

The MCU90F has an integral programming keypad which eliminates the need for a handheld programmer. The MCU90F communicates digitally with the MSP900 series transmitter to give improved resolution and accuracy and is available in wall or panel mounted options.

Features

  • ATEX II (1) G
  • Calculates flow in an open channels in accordance with BS3680 Pt. 4, ISO14381/1 and ISO4359
  • OCF calculation for Parshall flumes
  • Clear local back lit display of:
    • Instantaneous flow
    • Daily totalised flow
    • Cumulative flow
  • On-board logging of up to 7200 flow values and 365 daily flow rates
  • Current output can be proportional to instantaneous flow rate or to a rolling average of flow over a user defined averaging period
  • Relays can be allocated as flow rate alarms or may be selected as a pulse output to an external totaliser

Benefits

  • Powerful logger allows download at a later date
  • Versatile current output options to suit your requirements
  • Can be used for flow rate alarms
  • Offers low cost alternative to PLC
  • Both wall and panel mounted options available

Applications

The flow in an open channel may be derived by measuring the liquid level of a weir or flume of a standard design:

V notch weir
Typical 5/2 power law
Venturi flume
Typical 3/2 power law
