Frankstar Five-beam RIV F ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler/300K/ 600K/ 1200KHZ
RIV-F5 Series Five-beam ADCP
Frankstar RIV-F5 Series is the newly launched five-beam Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. The system delivers real-time, accurate and reliable data including current velocity, flow discharge, water level and water temperature. Widely deployed for flood early warning systems, water diversion projects, aquatic environmental monitoring, smart agriculture and intelligent water conservancy management. Equipped with a five-beam transducer integrated with an independent central sounding beam reaching up to 160 m, it greatly enhances bottom tracking performance for high-sediment waters, ensuring more accurate and stable sampling results.
Even under complex hydrological environments featuring high turbidity and rapid flow velocity, the RIV-F5 ADCP maintains outstanding measurement performance, reaching the technical level of top international counterparts. It serves as a premium, cost-effective five-beam ADCP solution for high-performance current profiling tasks.
