Monitor road flood streams with this accurate and durable submersible sensor. 2-meter depth range, integrated PT1000 temperature sensor, and IP68 protection.
The IMSL Submersible Water Temperature & Depth Sensor is specifically designed to withstand the challenging conditions encountered in road flood stream monitoring. Its robust construction and specialized features make it ideal for accurately measuring water depth and temperature in these dynamic environments.
Road flood streams present unique challenges for sensor deployment. Rapidly changing water levels, debris, and turbulent flow can all affect the accuracy and reliability of measurements. The IMSL sensor addresses these challenges with a protective nose cone that shields the sensitive diaphragm from damage. This nose cone ensures accurate readings even in turbulent conditions by preventing debris from impacting the sensor and minimizing the effects of water velocity changes.
The sensor’s submersible design and IP68 sealed cable allow for continuous operation even when fully submerged. This is crucial in road flood monitoring, where sensors may be deployed in areas prone to complete inundation. The cable is available in various lengths up to 5 meters, providing flexibility for installation in different locations and at varying distances from the monitoring equipment.
Accurate measurement of stream depth is critical for effective flood warning systems. The IMSL sensor provides precise depth readings over a range of 0 to 200 cmH2O, enabling real-time monitoring of water levels. This data can be used to trigger alarms, activate pumps, or initiate other mitigation measures to protect infrastructure and public safety.
The inclusion of a PT1000 3-wire temperature sensor adds another dimension to the data collected. Water temperature can influence the behavior of floodwaters, affecting factors such as flow rate and debris transport. By monitoring both depth and temperature, authorities can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the flood situation and make more informed decisions.
The IMSL sensor’s stainless steel construction ensures durability and long-term performance in the harsh conditions of road flood streams. The 316L stainless steel used for the housing and diaphragm offers excellent resistance to corrosion, even in the presence of pollutants or debris commonly found in these environments.
