Instruments You Use In Steam Gauging

By Christopher Carter


Have you wonder about why floods occur? Usually those disasters happens because of the irresponsible acts of human beings. Of course it can still be prevented knowing that there are already ways for those preventions and more humans are making some actions in promoting the importance of a healthy environment. You should really be thankful for those humans who have brilliant ideas in making the environment clean and healthy. Furthermore, most environmental problems usually occur in water parts. Many people had make some solution with the use of stream gauging instruments.

You probably have heard about stream gauging somewhere. Or perhaps you see some people near the river measuring that body of water with some apparatus. It basically is a method of measuring the flow or discharge of a water. Apparently, many reasons can be stated on why those people especially those hydrologist are doing this process.

Pretty much, it really is a big deal to the environment. For others, they might do some measurement for the purpose of research. Future researches will use it as their baseline or reference for their study. Furthermore, the community can also gain some benefits out of this. For example, when they know the levels of flooding, they will make a preparation for safety when that flood happens on their property. It can also be used as a way to identify the potential problems and make solutions for that.

Furthermore, measuring those streams are not being done by using your own bare hands. You really need some equipment or tools for it. Below are the tools that you may need and they can be bought at Hoskin Scientific also.

FlowTracker2. Have you tried the previous version which is the FlowTracker? Then this new version will surely give your more advantage. Collecting the data and navigating can be done so easy and convenient with this device. You can view the on-screen sensor as well as the beam checks. For those who want some correct data with much convenience, then FlowTracker2 is your perfect choice.

LaboratoryFluorometer. Looking for some device to analyse your samples? This fluorometer will surely help you. Using this apparatus is easy and has many advantages that you will get. You can utilize this for turbidity, absorbance or fluorescence measurements. Moreover, you can as well put your data in Excel spreadsheet by connecting it through serial connection or USB.

Digital Indicator. This one is inexpensive and you might prefer this for your option in calculations. It also has three modes where users can select. It can either be Manual wherein you use it for independent measurements. Or perhaps go in Automatic Averaging for turbulent flows. And lastly on Automatic for 4 second sampling.

ORR MF Pro Water Flow Meter. This device is low maintenance and user-friendly for it is water-resistant as well as lightweight. Furthermore, its saves users some time in calculations for it will be done automatically. It has many advantages which includes automatic calculations for discharge, versatility in applications, free from maintenance and others.

It might be few in this list but there are still some you could find outside. It might be in different sizes, contains different features and more. Regardless of that, it certainly helps the environment.
