730 Bubbler Module Section 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction The 730 Bubbler Module is one of Teledyne Isco’s inter- changeable modules for the Avalanche and 6700 Series Sam- plers. The module uses a differential pressure transducer and a flow of bubbles to measure liquid levels up to ten feet. The bubbler is unaffected by wind, fluctuations in air or liquid tem- peratures, turbulence, steam, foam on the surface, corrosive chemicals, debris, oil, floating grease, or lightning. You can install the

730 Bubbler Module Section 1 Introduction 1.6.4 Bubble Line For some applications, a stainless steel tube may be easier to Extensions install in the flow stream than the plastic bubble line because of its relative rigidity. The vinyl bubble line attaches by simply slipping the vinyl tube over the end of the extension. Contact your Teledyne Isco representative about purchasing a stainless steel bubble line extension. A copper extension to the bubble line is advantageous in applica- tions where al

730 Bubbler Module Section 2 Programming the Module 2.4 Operation of the When measuring flow rate, the module is used with a primary measuring device (typically a weir or a flume) or other open Bubbler System channel flow arrangement where a known relationship exists between level and flow rate (refer to Table 2-1 Flow Conversion Types). The level measuring device is a bubbler which measures the liquid level in the flow stream. The level reading is converted into a properly scaled flow rate valu
