Valeport rapidSV - Sound Velocity Sensors & Profilers
The Valeport rapidSV profiler has been developed for the fast collection of Sound Velocity Profiles, without compromising the quality of the data. The world`s most accurate Sound Velocity sensor with virtually instantaneous response time, data acquisition rates of up to 32Hz housed in a low drag housing result in the highest quality profiles at drop rates over 5 m/s.
The rapidSV Profiler is fitted with Valeport’s digital time of flight sound velocity sensor, strain gauge pressure transducer and optional PRT temperature sensor.
Sound Velocity
- Range: 1375 - 1900m/s
- Resolution: 0.001m/s
- Accuracy: ±0.02m/s
Pressure
- Range: 200 Bar
- Resolution: 0.001% range
- Accuracy: ±0.05% range
Temperature (Optional)
- Range: -5°C to +35°C
- Resolution: 0.001°C
- Accuracy: ±0.01°C
- Data Acquisition
- Sample Rate dependent on configuration
The optional temperature sensor gives valuable information about the physical structure of the ocean with the trade off of reducing the maximum data acquisition rate to 16 Hz.
