Latest sensor technology provides unrivalled accuracy for oceanographers

Apr 13 2016

The CTD is perhaps the most commonly used tool in an oceanographer’s armoury, providing detailed profile and time series data on the measured parameters of conductivity, temperature and pressure, including the calculated values of salinity, density and sound velocity. The latest evolution from Valeport is the new fastCTD Profiler which is designed to deliver highest quality CTD casts at rapid drop rates. Valeport has been leading the way in sound velocity for a decade and its newly released SWiFT SVP is quickly establishing itself in the hydrographic surveying industry as the best shallow water sound velocity profiler available today.

Created for coastal and oceanographic profiling, the new fastCTD profiler is an evolution of Valeport’s popular miniCTD instrument. Offering a unique and versatile solution for the collection of casts at rapid drop rates, the highly accurate and simple to deploy profiler incorporates Valeport’s world-class technology to allow the fastCTD Profiler to deliver the highest quality profiles in a lightweight and robust package.

The Valeport SWiFT SVP is intended for coastal, harbour and inland hydrographic survey use and offers the highest quality sound velocity profiles in a compact, robust and portable package. Positioned as the ultimate handheld profiler the SWiFT has been designed with the intention of seamless workflow, and has integral GPS to geo-locate every profile. With a battery endurance of up to a week and easy charging via USB, the SWiFT SVP offers exceptional performance and is promoted as Valeport’s best, most professional and affordable SVP to date. 

Valeport designs and manufactures instrumentation for the oceanographic, hydrographic and hydrometric communities with a worldwide customer base that includes: environmental, defence, oil and gas, renewable energy, construction, dredging and civil engineering sectors.
