Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Basin
Measuring range up to:
0 … 10 m
Medium:
Rainwater
Process temperature:
0 ... +30 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Fog, wind, solar radiation
Application
In case of heavy precipitation, excess rainwater is temporarily stored in open, artificial reservoirs. The water reservoir buffers the drainage and the water is pre-cleaned through natural settlement. Continuous level data are the basis for calculating the flow through the sewer system and thus protecting against flooding.
