HydroFlow ADCP
Current profiler

HydroFlow ADCP

Acoustic Doppler current profiler in 600 kHz and 1200 kHz versions, for river discharge and current measurement.

Supplied in India by Ecoleap Solutions with installation, training and after-sales support. Specifications below are from the manufacturer's published data.

Frequencies600 kHz or 1200 kHz
Profiling rangeUp to 90 m (600) / 40 m (1200)
Velocity accuracy0.25% ± 0.2 cm/s
Power3.5 W average

Overview

HydroFlow measures water velocity through the water column and tracks the bed, so you can calculate discharge across a river section in one crossing. The 600 kHz model reaches deeper water (up to 90 m profiling); the 1200 kHz model gives finer cells in shallow rivers and canals. It can be towed on a small trimaran or mounted on a HydroBoat USV.

Key features

  • 600 kHz (4 beams) or 1200 kHz (5 beams) versions
  • Velocity accuracy 0.25% ± 0.2 cm/s
  • Bottom tracking with depth up to 120 m (600 kHz)
  • Internal compass, tilt and temperature sensors
  • 16 GB internal memory
  • Trimaran float or USV mounting
