Fluvia RC3

The FLUVIA RC3 Electromagnetic Water Velocity Meter is a portable instrument designed for accurate measurement of water velocity and flow in natural and engineered hydraulic systems.
Its intuitive user interface enables fast and reliable field measurements with minimal operator training. The hydrodynamic probe design and compact sensor size allow precise measurements close to the water surface, near the channel bed, or along pipe walls. As the sensor contains no moving parts, it is immune to debris accumulation, ensuring long-term accuracy and operational reliability.
The system is fully configurable to user requirements, including measurement units, date and time, language, and data logging methods. An optional GPS module automatically synchronizes time and records precise geolocation for each measurement point.

Configuration

All system functions are quickly and easily configured via a menu-driven interface. Users can define unit systems, time-averaging filters, and recording preferences.

Readings, Logging and Visualisation

The instrument delivers real-time water velocity measurements with integrated time stamps for full traceability. Data acquisition supports both manual and automatic recording modes, enabling adaptation to specific field conditions. An adjustable zero offset optimizes accuracy and compensates for site-specific effects. Measurements are displayed graphically, with velocity trends shown over a user-defined time window to allow immediate assessment of flow stability and measurement quality in the field.

River Profiling and Discharge Calculation

The system automatically calculates flow and discharge from channel geometry, water level, and multiple velocity points, delivering reliable results across diverse hydraulic conditions. Discharge calculations comply with ISO 748 standards. For river profiling, surveys support up to 30 verticals with up to 6 velocity points each, with all profiles stored internally and available for export for further analysis.
