In most cases, this concerns natural (rivers, streams, etc.) or artificial waterways (feeder, irrigation, inlet, transport canals, etc.). Pipes that are not filled (therefore not pressurized) are also considered as free surface flows.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block\"><div class=\"title\">Principle<\/div><div class=\"text\"><div class=\"text-container\"><p>\n<span style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\">To understand the operation of our flow meters for free surface flows, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultraflux.net\/en\/expertise\/free-surface-flow-rate-measurement\/\">Free surface flow measurement<\/a> page.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"block\"><div class=\"title\">Field of application<\/div><div class=\"text\"><div class=\"text-container\"><p>\nFlow and speed measurement using the ultrasonic transit time difference method in free surface flow constructions is the most accurate method available today.
