Introduction to ADCP-300K


The ADCP-300K Direct-Reading Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) is a high-precision, low-power, and easy-to-operate water current measurement system, specially designed for hydrology, marine engineering, and environmental monitoring. It has a measurement range of up to 160 meters and supports RS232, RS485, and Wi-Fi wireless data transmission, making it suitable for deployment on a variety of platforms such as buoys, moorings, and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs).

The ADCP-300K provides accurate water velocity profile data and is widely used for river flow monitoring, coastal current measurement, ocean observation, marine engineering, and environmental management.


Principle of ADCP 300kHz


The ADCP-300K operates based on the Doppler effect. It emits acoustic pulses into the water, which are scattered back by suspended particles. By analyzing the frequency shift of the returned echoes, the instrument calculates the water velocity at different depths. Using multiple acoustic beams, the ADCP generates a complete water column velocity profile, enabling high-precision flow monitoring in rivers, canals, and coastal waters.
