ADCP-600K
5-Beams Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 600kHz
The ADCP-600K Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) adopts piston array technology. It is capable of measuring flow velocity profiles, water depth, and cross-section discharge within a maximum depth of 75 meters. It can be rapidly mounted on survey boats and trimaran hulls for mobile surveying operations.The system supports external connection with various auxiliary devices such as compasses, GNSS, and radio stations, enabling remote telemetry data transmission. It delivers accurate and reliable data support services for hydrological surveys, flood warning systems, water regulation projects, water environment monitoring, smart agriculture, and smart water management.
Operating based on the acoustic Doppler principle and integrated with an additional central echo-sounding beam, the device provides real-time online output of precise data including flow velocity, discharge, water level, and water temperature.It features robust bottom tracking capability, ensuring highly accurate and stable sampling data even in special water environments with high sediment concentrations. Furthermore, it delivers excellent performance in turbid water bodies and high-flow velocity conditions, making it a high-quality, high-performance, and cost-effective ADCP solution.
