Flowatch® Flowmeter - Swissmade Precision Hand Held Flowmeter for mobile measurings of gas- and fluidflows plus thermometer

This competitively priced instrument (flowmeter - thermometer) has been developed for use under challenging circumstances. Because of its different impellers, you can use it to measure amost any liquid or gaseous medium.

The Flowatch is one of the JDC innovations 2009. This precise flowmeter is ideal for scientific purposes. The unique set of swissprecision impellers are giving you a complete toolbox for every situation in exploring many kinds of flows and temperature from gas to fluids.

Flowatch - Impellers and Probes for every Situation

The Flowatch flowmeter comes with a set of swissprecision Impellers which can be changed quikly without recalibrating the display unit. This is for example very comfortable for having several compareable readingpoints in controlling routines for different fluid- or gas-flows.

The Flowwatch can be used for:

• Measure rivers flows
• Ocean flows
• Sewage flows
• Hydrological studies
• Chimney flues
• Irrigation canals
• Air conditioning conduits
• Ventilation shafts
• Aerological studies
• Environmental studies
• Energy saving consultance
• …

Three different impeller for air and water

Three different probes to mount

Flowatch - Thermometer

The Flowatch provides probes with an interagted thermometer to read the actual environmental temperature. The sensor is placed directly beneeth the impeller so that point-readings are possible. The measuring range is from -40° up to 80°C!

Flowatch - Robust swiss pecision

The housing of the Flowatch flowmeter made of shockproof plastics of highest quality and the precise molding are analogue to the electronical an mechanical content. At the bottom of the Flowatch flowmeter is a solid metalplate with a standard-tripod fitting which provides best stability when mounted.

Flowatch - Waterproof and Floatable

The Flowatch is waterproof and floatable. This features is ideal for all dusty and foggy conditions.

Flowatch - Made for Expedition

The Flowatch flowmeter is powered by two standard AA-Mignon Batteries. These kind of batteries you can get nearly in every place all over the world without problems. So you will never run out of spare. The Battery lifetime, at least 3 years with occasional use of the display backlight.

The robust aluminium carrying case keeps all sensors and accessories safe in one place and provides additional place for accessories.

Flowatch - Easy and comfotable to use

         Backlight

The big backlighted display of the Flowatch flowmeter with its semantic design provides a very easy orientation and view on the read outs. The intuitive usage of the 4-button-menu is very easy and nearly doesn't need a manual. The position of the backlighted display lets you read out and hold the Flowatch flowmeter tight at the same time and in every situaton. The big buttons can be used with working-gloves and the huge display is viewable even through foggy-masks and in wet conditions.

Flowatch - A1 swiss made equipment

The Flowatch is perfect for all those, who are searching for a precise flowmeter with an outstanding valueable price to precision relation. The sum of features of this "swissknife" flowmeter of JDC makes it attractive for all professionals and even recreational users.
