acoustic doppler current profiler, Doppler Current Meter, Five-Beam ADCP, Hydrographic Survey Equipment, RIV ADCP, River Flow Meter, Water Velocity Profiler,
The RIV-F5 series is a newly launched five-beam ADCP. The system can provide accurate and reliable data like current velocity, flow, water level, and temperature in real time, effectively used for flood warning systems, water transfer projects, water environment monitoring, smart agriculture, and smart water services. The system is equipped with a five-beam transducer. A 160m additional central sounding beam is added to strengthens the bottom tracking ability for special environments such as waters with high sediment content, and the sampling data is also getting more accurate and stable data.
Even in complex waters environment with high turbidity and high flow velocity, this product is still able to have a excellent performance, which is comparable to the best international similar products, It is the best choice for high-quality, high-performance and cost-effective ADCP.
