How to Properly Monitor Open Channel Flow Open channel flow monitoring measures the rate of water or wastewater moving through gravity-fed systems such as flumes, weirs, and open channels. Traditional mechanical methods like staff gauges and floats are being replaced by ultrasonic and hydrostatic level sensors that deliver continuous, precise, and low-maintenance measurement. These modern solutions improve accuracy, reduce field labor, and ensure reliable data for irrigation, stormwater, and wastewater applications.

What are Strain Gauges? Strain gauges convert mechanical deformation into measurable resistance changes through the piezoresistive effect. Small resistance shifts are detected using a Wheatstone bridge with amplification and temperature compensation. Common types include linear, diaphragm, rosette, torsion, and dual-parallel gauges—each suited to specific stress directions and materials. Used widely in structural testing, load and pressure measurement, and industrial condition monitoring, strain gauges provide precise data essential for safety, performance, and predictive maintenance across engineering applications.
