Based on the continuity equation
±5% of reading is typical where flow is in a channel with uniform flow
conditions and is not surcharged, ±1% full scale maximum
Surcharge depth supplied by Flo-Dar sensor
Method: Electromagnetic
Range: ±4.8 m/s (±16 ft/s)
Accuracy: ±0.046 m/s (±0.15 ft/s) or 4% of reading, whichever is more
Zero stability: > ±0.015 m/s (±0.05 ft/s) typical
