Small size and a choice of sensor lengths down to just 25mm make the sensor suitable for a variety of applications, and the optional pressure or temperature sensor adds versatility. There is a choice of data formats to allow an interface to pre-existing systems.
Valeport will also consider OEM and custom designs.
Each sound velocity measurement is made using a single pulse of sound travelling over a known distance, so is independent of the inherent calculation errors present in all CTDs. Our unique digital signal processing technique virtually eliminates signal noise, and gives almost instantaneous response; the digital measurement is also entirely linear, giving a predictable performance under all conditions.
Selectable, dependent on configuration
The miniSVS may be optionally supplied with either a pressure or temperature sensor (but not both). Data is sampled at the rates shown above.

The miniSVS has RS232 & RS485 output, selected by command code. RS232 data may be taken directly into a PC over cables up to 200m long, whereas RS485 is suitable for longer cables (up to 1000m) and allows for multiple addressed units on a single cable.
Examples of data formats are:
All systems supplied with operating manual and carry case. OEM units come with a test lead, housed units with a 0.5m pigtail.
Please refer to factory for detailed dimensions if required.
Valeport’s in-house design and manufacture capability mean we can provide customized OEM versions of our “time of flight” sound velocity technology.
The next generation of sound velocity sensor, the UltraSV, is ultra-fast, ultra-compact, ultra-dependable.
