SonTek-IQ Irrigation Flow Meter Launch
Mar 26 2012
SonTek, a Xylem (USA) brand, is pleased to announce the launch of the new SonTek-IQ Hi-tech flow meter, designed specifically to address the needs of the open channel irrigation market. The development of the SonTek-IQ leveraged the brand’s renowned expertise in pulsed acoustic Doppler technology and includes never-done-before flow modeling in small irrigation canals. The result is a device that is easy to install, precise and the perfect fit for highly variable flow found in irrigation environments.
The SonTek-IQ determines flow velocity using four acoustic pulsed Doppler beams configured to allow the instrument to profile water velocity in three dimensions (3-D). The system also incorporates SonTek’s proprietary “SmartPulseHD”, an intelligent processing scheme originally developed for the award-winning RiverSurveyor product line.
Benefits of the new SonTek-IQ include: no need for calibration – simply place the IQ in a canal and it’s ready to collect accurate data, easy installation – no extensive construction required and innovative acoustic vertical beam and pressure sensor work in tandem provide robust water level data.
