Flow Monitor ideal for monitoring flows in canals, culverts, pipes, and natural streams. 

  • Self-contained all-in-one design
  • Proprietary flow algorithms for irrigation canals, natural streams, and pipes
  • Uses SonTek's exclusive SmartPulseHD adaptive sampling
  • Self-calibrating water level using vertical acoustic beam and pressure
  • The standard package includes the SonTek-IQ, IQ software, easy mounting hardware, cable, adaptor, and power supply

Starts with a custom flow algorithm derived from hundreds of field measurements. Four-velocity beam profiles water velocity along both the length and width of the channel to ensure the best possible coverage and the most accurate representation of the velocity field. The built-in pressure sensor and vertical acoustic beam work in tandem to measure water level. Simply input the channel geometry using the intuitive SonTek-IQ software, and you are outputting flow data in minutes.

All stainless steel hardware makes the IQ even more capable in difficult environments such as stormwater and certain wastewater where corrosion is a potential concern.

Capable of working both in artificial and natural channels, the SonTek-IQ can collect flow (area-velocity) and volume data in as little as 8 cm (3 in) of water. Its five-beam pulsed Doppler design is Modbus, SDI-12, RS232, and analog-ready. Even better news: the SonTek-IQ installs with limited or no earthworks. With the SonTek-IQ, expect to get quality data for quality decision-making.

The SonTek-IQ Standard, the SonTek-IQ Plus, and the SonTek-IQ Pipe all operate at 3 MHz. The Standard model works in depths up to 1.5 m (5 ft), while the Plus and Pipe models are ideal for water depths up to 5m (16 ft). The SonTek-IQ Plus/Pipe also incorporates advanced post-processing functions, providing deeper insight into your flow and volume data. All models use SonTek's proprietary algorithm SmartPulseHD.
