Press release from: NIVUS GmbH

NIVUS provide accurate flow measurement system using parallel
level measurements launching NivuSmart Q

The new measurement method has been developed in close cooperation with the University of Strasbourg. A hydraulic model perfectly adjusted to the specific conditions on the measurement site is the basis for accurate measurements. This model uses two level measurements in combination with the hydraulic model to determine the flow rate. Both levels are measured at a known distance, such as in two consecutive shafts within a channel system. The measurement accuracy is comparable to other contactless flow measurement systems such as Radar. By calibrating the measurement system even higher accuracies can be achieved. Hydraulic phenomena such as backwater and free discharge can be detected using NivuSmart Q without any problems.

The system operates contactless since ultrasonic sensors are used for level measurement. Therefore costs for installation and maintenance are remarkably low. Using self-sufficient GPRS data loggers featuring very long battery lifetimes moreover allows system operation without mains power supply. Being available on a particular data portal, the data can be accessed via Internet from anywhere in the world.

NIVUS supply the new flow measurement as a complete system. Starting with the measurement site assessment, the measuring of existing channels and the installation through the implementation of the specific measurement place models as well as the measurement verification - all steps are executed solely by the system manufacturer.

FIFTY!
The measurement technology manufacturer celebrates its 50th anniversary At the 1st of June 1967, company founder Udo Steppe started his own business founding NIVUS. In a time when the first microwave oven was introduced and the first ATMs were put into operation, Udo Steppe began trading in measurement systems for bulk solids and liquids. The beginning of the seventies saw his pioneering work by launching ultrasound technology for industrial level measurement.
3 Flow Measurement Sites with one Transmitter
3 Flow Measurement Sites with one Transmitter
NIVUS GmbH expand their NivuFlow 750 family for use with up to 9 sensors The manufacturer presents a transmitter capable of simultaneously measuring up to three different measurement places with 9 flow velocity sensors in total. This means less installation expenses, low space requirements for installation in control cabinets and simultaneous access to 3 measurement sites using merely one communication interface. By using the new version operators are free to distribute the
