Pengukur Aliran Radar
This radar flow meter uses a non-contact method to monitor water flow rate and water level. It is mainly composed of water flow meter and water level meter. The flow meter is used to collect the surface flow rate of the fluid and calculate the average flow rate of the water section through the model. The water level meter measures the water level and cross-sectional information to calculate the cross-sectional area of the flow, and uses the formula flow = average flow rate × cross-sectional area × correction coefficient to get the flow rate. The correction coefficient is calculated based on the standard value obtained from the actual measurement environment.

Advanced Radar Flow Meter for Comprehensive Hydrological Monitoring
I’ve stood on riverbanks during flood season, watching engineers stare at rising water, wishing they could measure what was happening without wading into danger. This is for them.
Our state-of-the-art radar flow meter reads water from a safe distance—velocity, depth, and flow—without ever getting wet. This dual-function device integrates advanced Doppler radar technology for surface velocity measurement with a high-precision FMCW module that acts as an electronic water level sensor. By combining these two data streams, it calculates real-time discharge volumes with exceptional accuracy.
Whether deployed as a critical river flow monitor for flood plains, a specialized open channel flow meter for irrigation districts, or a reliable stormwater monitoring system for urban drainage, this non contact water level sensor delivers the precision modern hydraulic analysis demands.
Dual-Frequency Precision: Velocity Radar + Level Detection
Traditional flow meters struggle when water gets rough—temperature swings, chemical changes, debris in the current. This one doesn’t care.
At its core lies a sophisticated surface velocity radar operating at 24GHz to detect Doppler frequency shifts from moving water, paired with a 76-81GHz radar level transmitter that resolves depth down to millimeter-level precision. This dual-frequency approach ensures the radar flow meter remains unaffected by water temperature, pressure, or chemical composition—areas where ultrasonic methods often fail.
-
Flow rate range: 0.1 to 20 m/s

Applications: Reliable irrigation flow meter, flood control sensor, and wastewater flow monitoring in debris-laden networks where other sensors might fail
Optimized Beam Angles for Complex Environments
Rivers have banks. Channels have vegetation. Bridges have pilings. All of them can fool a less intelligent sensor.
That’s why our radar flow meter features distinct antenna beam configurations:
-
6° narrow beam for the water level component—targets only the water surface, avoiding false echoes from riverbanks or bridge structures
-
30° × 80° elliptical beam for velocity detection—focused precisely on the flowing current
This design ensures accurate flume water monitoring in irregular channels and enhances reliability for any stormwater monitoring system. By isolating the target area, the device delivers clean, actionable data to your smart water monitoring network, eliminating the guesswork common in open-channel flow measurement.
Rugged Design for All-Weather Deployment
I’ve seen sensors fail in the field—corroded contacts, frozen circuits, fried electronics. This one was built to outlast them.
Our radar flow meter boasts an IP67 protection rating and operates reliably from -40°C to +80°C. With low power consumption of just 1.3W and wide voltage input (DC 10-30V), it’s an ideal electronic water level sensor for remote, solar-powered installations.
Whether deployed for wastewater flow monitoring in underground drainage networks or as a primary river flow monitor for reservoir management, the unit’s durable construction ensures long-term stability. Installation is straightforward—mount at 3-4 meters height—allowing quick deployment across agricultural canals, urban stormwater systems, or industrial channels.
Seamless Integration into Smart Water Networks
Your data should flow as freely as the water you’re measuring.
Integration is effortless thanks to standard RS485 output and Modbus protocol support. This radar flow meter serves as a versatile node in any smart water monitoring system, transmitting real-time data on flow rate, water level, and total volume to central control rooms or cloud platforms.
Why this matters:
-
One device replaces separate radar level transmitter and velocity units → lower hardware costs, simpler maintenance
-
Real-time visibility into your network → faster response to anomalies
-
High-fidelity data for analysis → better resource decisions, easier regulatory compliance
From optimizing irrigation flow meter networks to enhancing flood control sensor arrays, this device provides the intelligence you need.
Because in the end, you’re not just measuring water. You’re protecting communities, optimizing resources, and building infrastructure that lasts. Our radar flow meter is simply the tool that helps you do it better.
Radar Flow Meter View
Our radar flow meter uses the Doppler radar velocity measurement principle. When measuring the water surface, the radar flow sensor emits microwaves to the water surface, and the microwaves are absorbed and reflected when they encounter the water surface. Part of the reflected wave is received by the flow meter probe, and then converted into an electrical signal, which is processed by the measurement circuit and the Doppler frequency shift is measured. The water flow rate can then be calculated based on the signal processing algorithm. The radar water level meter uses FMCW modulation, with a triangular wave as the modulation signal.

Radar Flow Meter Installation
Select the installation site
The selection of the measuring channel section is directly related to the accuracy of the data. To ensure the accuracy of the results, the following conditions should be met:
1. There are no huge rocks blocking the water in the test channel section, no large whirlpools, turbulence, etc.
2. The water flow in the test channel section is stable and concentrated.
3. The test channel section needs to be hardened and the measuring section should be regular.
4. The test channel section should be kept smooth to prevent the accumulation of floating objects.
Install the radar flow meter in the middle of the channel or river or as close to the center as possible, with one side of the inclined surface facing the water flow direction.
Antenna beam range
The radar flow meter integrates a water level meter and a current meter. The water level meter antenna beam angle is 6×6°, and the radar antenna angle is 30×80°. When the water level meter illuminates the water surface, the illuminated area is similar to a circle. When the current meter illuminates the water surface, the illuminated area is similar to an elliptical area. As shown in the figure. An accurate understanding of the irradiation range of radar waves helps to choose a suitable installation location to avoid interference from branches on both sides of the river and floating debris in the water.
Installation height
Under the same conditions, the higher the installation height, the weaker the echo and the worse the signal quality. Especially for scenes with low water flow velocity, the ripples are small and more difficult to measure. At the same time, the area of radar wave irradiation will be larger. It is possible that the beam will irradiate the bank of the channel and be interfered by moving targets on the bank. If it is installed too low, it will not be conducive to anti-theft protection, so the recommended height for pole installation is 3-4 meters.
Notes
1. When installing the flow meter, the water level meter and the velocity meter radar must not be blocked, otherwise it will affect the measurement accuracy.
2. When installing the flow meter, try to ensure that the upper surface of the shell is horizontal and installed in the middle of the channel.
3. The velocity meter beam is recommended to face the incoming water direction, and the horizontal angle with the water flow direction is 0 degrees.
4. The velocity meter is only affected by dynamic targets. When the channel is hardened and there are no weeds or trees, even if the beam is irradiated on both sides of the channel, it will not affect the measurement data.
Radar Flow Meter FAQs
Radar flowmeter and ultrasonic flowmeter are two commonly used technologies in modern industrial flow measurement. There are some differences between these two flowmeters in terms of principle, application and accuracy.
Prinsip kerja: Radar flowmeter uses microwave technology to measure flow. Ultrasonic flowmeter uses the propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in the fluid to measure flow.
Permohonan: Radar flowmeter is suitable for flow measurement of various liquids and gases, including high viscosity liquids, corrosive liquids and liquids containing suspended particles. Its non-contact measurement method enables it to adapt to harsh environments. Ultrasonic flowmeter is also suitable for flow measurement of a variety of fluids, including clean liquids, sewage and gas. It can adapt to different measurement requirements such as pipe diameter changes, fluid temperature and pressure changes by adjusting the frequency and emission angle of ultrasonic waves.
Ketepatan: The measurement accuracy of radar flowmeter is usually high, reaching ±1%~2%. It is not affected by the physical and chemical properties of the fluid. The measurement accuracy of ultrasonic flowmeter is affected by many factors, such as fluid temperature, pressure, composition and flow state.
Wide voltage power input 10~30V is acceptable. When wiring the 485 signal line, pay attention that the A/B lines cannot be connected in reverse, and the addresses of multiple devices on the bus cannot conflict.
It is mainly used for non-contact flow measurement in open channels, rivers, irrigation areas, underground drainage networks, flood prevention and early warning, etc.
If the radar flow meter cannot receive a signal or the signal is weak, it may be due to antenna damage, poor connection or signal interference. At this time, you can check whether the antenna is intact, confirm whether the connection is tight, and try to change the installation position to avoid interference sources.
The large measurement deviation of the radar flow meter may be due to unstable fluid state, scaling of the inner wall of the pipeline, sensor position offset and other reasons. To solve this problem, it is necessary to regularly check the pipeline state, clean the inner wall, and ensure the correct position of the sensor. At the same time, the measurement deviation can be reduced by taking the average value of multi-point measurements.
Zero drift is a common problem of radar flow meter, which may be caused by temperature changes, mechanical wear or circuit aging. To solve this problem, the flowmeter needs to be calibrated regularly to ensure its accuracy. In addition, the impact of zero drift can be reduced by software compensation or hardware adjustment.
The large gap in the radar flow meter data may be due to bubbles, impurities or electromagnetic interference in the fluid. At this time, you can install a filter or take other measures to eliminate the interference. At the same time, you can improve data stability by optimizing the algorithm or increasing the sampling frequency.
