For decades, the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV®) has been the preferred instrument for precisely-defined sampling of water velocity across a wide range of environments. The FlowTracker2 Lab ADV utilizes SonTek’s continuing innovation in ADV platforms to offer a laboratory version of the world’s best-selling ADV, the FlowTracker2. For the first time, the ADV’s acoustic probe and processing electronics are housed in one small, lightweight, easily-maneuverable unit, and the acoustic head has an optional, integrated pressure (depth) sensor.

Depth data are even correctable for dynamic pressure (Bernoulli) and altitude effects using SonTek’s patent-pending method. Setup of the probe and PC software is simple and mistake-proof. Just connect the cables between the probe and your laboratory PC or laptop, check a few settings, and press the “Start Logging” button. Data are output directly to a *.CSV file that is immediately ready for use in the project, model, or database as required.
FT2 LAB ADV IS RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN:
- Civil engineering, environmental, and hydraulic projects
- Aquaculture and aquarium operations
- Surface and bottom boundary studies
- Tanks, flumes, and physical models
- Very shallow water environments
- Turbulence
- Settling rates
- Fish screens
The SonTek ADV is a longtime standard for accurate, high-precision water velocity measurements under a wide variety of flow conditions and research settings.
