Recommendation
SeaDeal maps wastewater flow points to magnetic, ultrasonic or open-channel flow measurement based on real process conditions.
Comparison table
| Criteria | Recommended option | Alternative option |
|---|---|---|
| Full-pipe wastewater | Magnetic flow meter is usually first choice. | Turbine meters are normally avoided with solids. |
| Open channel | Use open-channel level-to-flow measurement. | Inline meters do not fit non-full channels. |
| Chemical dosing | Check conductivity, small flow range and material compatibility. | A different small-flow meter may be needed. |
Application scenarios
Wastewater applications fail when pipe fullness, conductivity, solids, liner material and installation straight pipe are ignored.
Flow Meter
Electromagnetic, vortex, turbine, thermal mass, Coriolis, ultrasonic, rotameter and positive displacement flow meters for liquid, gas and steam measurement.
Level Measurement
Radar level meters, ultrasonic level meters, magnetic level gauges, float switches and hydrostatic transmitters for tank and silo monitoring.
Problem summary: Wastewater applications fail when pipe fullness, conductivity, solids, liner material and installation straight pipe are ignored.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a wastewater flow meter?
Start by confirming full-pipe or open-channel flow, then check conductivity, solids, pipe size, liner material and signal output.
Which meter is best for sludge flow?
A magnetic flow meter is often evaluated first when sludge is conductive and the pipe remains full.
