AQUAscat® 1000L

Suspended sediment in the lab

Ideal for laboratory based sediment research

The AQUAscat® 1000L represents a new generation of high frequency acoustic instrumentation. It has applications in sediment transport studies, including measurement of suspended sediment profiles, precision altimetry, dredge plumes and turbulence.

The AQUAscat transmits pulses of high frequency sound on up to four transducers, each of which may operate at a different frequency. It measures the sound scattered by sediment or other suspended materials at discrete spatial intervals programmable from 2½ millimetres to 4 centimetres.

Applications

  • Flume tanks
  • Laboratory based transport studies
