Valeport 106 Current Meter
A low cost, lightweight alternative to larger flow meters, ideal for use in applications where the superior durability and depth rating of Valeport’s larger meters is not necessary
Description
Utilising the standard Valeport 125mm diameter impeller, the Model 106 features speed and direction parameters as standard, with further options of temperature and depth.
Data (logged or real time) is compatible with Valeport’s DataLog™ software.
The instrument is manufactured from titanium and polymers, giving excellent resistance to corrosion, whilst maintaining a small size and low weight.
These features make the Model 106 the ideal instrument for coastal and estuarine applications, and other light duty survey work.
