Flow Meter Used in your Flow Study
Flo-Dar incorporates a Doppler Radar Velocity Sensor and Ultrasonic
Depth Transducer for use in Open Channel Applications. It is available
with a Permanent Flo-Station. The Flo-Station is available with or
without a display and is powered with 120/240 VAC, or 12 VDC. The
Flo-Station requires Flo-Ware software, which is included on some
models, and a customer supplied PC. Flo-Station with display shows
flow rate, total flow, velocity and level. Both Flo-Station's have four
outputs one each for level, velocity, flow rate, surcharge level, and a
contact closure.

Confined Space Installation
US3 Installation Practices does not require Full Confined space entry into the Manhole. We do cross
the plane with our hands and arms but never actually enter the Manhole. We do take Gas readings
and Fill out the confined space permitting. All of our Technicians have been fully trained in Confined
