Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler

This system utilizes the acoustic Doppler principle to output real-time data on flow velocity, flow rate, water level, and water temperature from the measured profile. The system is equipped with four tilting current-measuring beams and one central vertical depth-sounding beam, enabling current measurement up to 120 meters and depth measurement up to 160 meters. It has provided accurate and reliable data support for command and decision-making in numerous application scenarios and fields, including flood warning, water diversion projects, water environment monitoring, smart agriculture, and smart water management. Even in complex water bodies with turbidity and high flow velocities, this product can easily handle the task, with stable performance comparable to the best products in its class, making it the best partner for your water surveys. For special water environments with high sediment content, such as the Yellow River, bottom-tracking performance has been further improved to ensure accurate and stable sampling data. As the latest generation of five-beam ADCP products on the market, the S5 is based on advanced and stable acoustic technology and excellent market competitiveness.
