Suspended Sediment Profiler

The AQUAscat ^® 1000L is a premier laboratory instrument in TECPRIME’s high-frequency acoustic instrumentation range. It’s a cornerstone in sediment transport studies, adept in measuring suspended sediment profiles, precision altimetry, dredge plumes, and turbulence analysis. It features advanced high-frequency sound pulses emitted from multiple transducers, each capable of operating at different frequencies. The device accurately detects sound scattered by sediment or other suspended matter, with a programmable spatial resolution spanning 2.5 mm to 4 cm.
