ABSTRACT:
A probe adapted to fit an open end of a sewer or water pipe or conduit is provided with jets at an upstream portion and sensors at a downstream portion for detecting jetted fluid. In conjunction with timing means and with means for determining flow depth, such as a bubbler device, such probe provides highly accurate calculation of flow velocity by a rate computer. The velocity multiplied by the output of means for converting the flow depth to cross-sectional area of flowing liquid, provides the instantaneous flow, which integrated over time gives total flow.
