LJ20 Type Propeller Current Meter

1. Product Introduction

This series of propeller current meters are conventional general-purpose instruments for velocity measurement in river hydrological surveys, used to determine the time-averaged velocity at predetermined measuring points in cross-sections of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, channels, and other water bodies.

This instrument complies with and meets technical standards such as GB/T11826-2002 "Rotor-type Current Meters".

2. Main Technical Specifications
