sensors and accessories<br />

Use the flow rate Sensor to easily measure stream velocity<br />

for environmental or earth science studies. flow rate data<br />

can be used to calculate the discharge value for the stream<br />

or study the sediment transport of the stream.<br />

• Separates into four sections for easy transport and<br />

convenient storage.<br />

• equipped with a 5 m cable, so your data-collection<br />

equipment can stay on shore.<br />

• includes 3 riser rods, which enable the impeller to be<br />

placed at fi xed depths.<br />

the force Plate is a large force sensor—tough enough<br />

to jump on. About the size and shape of a bathroom<br />

scale, the force Plate has two ranges, one reading up to<br />

3500 n and the other to 800 n. two handles are included<br />

for pushing or pulling. additional pairs of handles are<br />

available (orDer coDe fP-han, $15).<br />
