Introduction to ADCP-600K


The ADCP-600K 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 90 meters and supports RS232, RS422, and Wi-Fi wireless data transmission, making it suitable for deployment on various platforms such as buoys, moorings, and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs).

The ADCP-600K provides highly 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 600kHz


The ADCP-600K 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 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.
