TRACER SYSTEM TQ-F

MOBILE DISCHARGE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR TURBULENT RIVERS WITH UNKNOW CROSS-SECTION PROFILE – FLUORESCENCE TRACER

The discharge measurement is performed by using the well-established tracer-dilution method which is especially suitable for high volumes of water. The system can be deployed in turbulent rivers, creeks, or waters for which data regarding the cross-section profile are not available or unknown. It is used as a fluorescent material as a tracer. After the insertion of a known amount of tracer material two optical fluorescence probes automatically determine the discharge. This way high plausibility and accurate results can be guaranteed. New TQ-COMMANDER V2 software is available! More details
