“BHM” makes Water Current Meter is a pivotal instrument in the Hydrological Division, for these instruments
we can take the Water Velocity in Small Streams, Rivulet, Canal, Large Rivers etc. Various alternative methods
user use for taking the water velocity as below
Water Current Meter
Model- [BHM-H-CM2]
User taking the river discharge over the bridge
using the Bridge Outfit.
Water Current Meter
Model- [BHM-H-CM3]
User taking the Small River Velocity through the
water current meter and using the wadding rod
for taking the depth of the river.
Water Current Meter
Model- [BHM-H-CM1]
User (Indian Army) taking the Ganga Canal
Velocity through the water current meter on the
Boat and using the wadding rod for taking the
depth of the river.
Water Current Meter
Model- [BHM-H-CM1]
Water current meter user taking
velocity of a Chenab River through
the Bank Operated Cable Way

Water Flow Measurement Instruments Hydrology
Instrument
Water Current Meter for taking the River Velocity
Cup Type Water Current Meter
Model:- (BHM-H-CM2)
As per IS: 3910-1992
Introduction
“BHM” make Vertical Axis-Cup type Water current Meter is used to measure Velocity of water flow directly in
m/s. The Stainless Steel Spindle carrying the cup wheel freely rotates in the bearing assembly. The magnet and
reed switch assembly produces one pulse per Rotation. The rotation of the water current meter is sensed by
sensor & given Pulsed output signal.
As per IS: 3910-1992, the Cup Type Water Current Meter employs a bucket wheel assembly that is mounted upon
a shaft and rotates in response to fluid flow, generating a signal that is proportional to the fluid flow velocity. The
current bucket wheel assembly is made of plated brass. It employs six hollow conical cups that are hand formed
from sheet metal and individually soldered to brass, star- shaped frame. The finished unit is then plated. The
frame is shaped so that a strut connects the apex of each cup to the outer diameter of the following cup around
the frame.
The cup type Water Current Meter can be suspended by means of a Fish weight wadding a stream, or by a cable
and wadding rod from an overhead structure. A tailpiece assembly assures proper alignment of the meter to
water flow when suspended by a cable. Velocity is determined by counting the number of revolutions of the
bucket wheel over a given period of time. Revolution cab be monitored by Digital Rev/ Time Counter or with the
help of “BHM” make water Velocity Logger /Indicator (DVI-V1) by configuring the logger with calibration equation
(Provided with each meter), it will result the direct current velocity of the Stream in m/s
