PASCO PASPORT Flow Rate/Temperature Sensor

Purpose: PASCO’s Flow Rate Sensor allows students to measure the temperature and rate of movement of streams, rivers, and other flowing systems. The propeller is a rugged, single-piece unit encased by protective material — no more losing pieces at the bottom of the stream. Key Features: - Telescoping Handle to reach deep levels - Revolutions of a magnet on the submersible impeller are counted and converted to linear flow rate measurements in ft/s or m/s - Students can use Capstone or SPARKvue software to calculate volume discharge rates - Exclusive built-in temperature sensor conveniently measures temperature at the same point as flow rate Educational Topics: Determine sediment transport rate for a stream or other body of water Measure and compare flow rate at various locations in a stream Compare the characteristics of one stream to another
