SonTek Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADVs), are among the most accurate and easy-to-use
instruments for precise, high-resolution measurement of water velocity and related parameters.
SonTek offers the widest range of models and configurations available for single point Doppler
measurement, making it possible to tailor the instrument and its capabilities to the needs of our reserach work in open channel flow.
Boasting a sampling volume of less than 0.09cc and sampling rates up to 50 Hz, the 16-MHz MicroADV is an ideal laboratory instrument for low flow and turbulence studies.
