The Isco 730 Bubbler Module forces a metered amount of air through a bubble line submerged in the flow channel using a built-in air compressor. Water level is determined by measuring the pressure needed to force air bubbles from the line, and this is then converted into flow rate by the 6712 sampler.
The 730 Bubbler is not affected by wind, steam, foam or turbulence, and can be used in small channels. Flows containing corrosive chemicals can be measured, as only the bubble line contacts the flow, and the module is also resistant to damage by debris and lightning, making it ideal for stormwater applications. Clogging is prevented with automatic bubble line purging.
Automatic Drift Compensation makes Isco's bubbler flow meter technology the most accurate form of flow measurement. In standby applications such as monitoring stormwater runoff, Automatic Drift Compensation also allows the 730 to maintain calibration for extended periods.
