UV-SVP

UV-SVP - Sound Velocity, Temperature and Pressure with calculated Salinity & Density for an Underwater Vehicle

Designed for underwater vehicles where space is at a premium, the compact UV-SVP features Valeport’s Time of Flight technology that delivers SVP with calculated salinity and density data. A compact package weighing just 750 grams (in air), the lightweight titanium housing gives a depth rating of 3000m. A wide range (9-30V DC) isolated power supply and RS232 communications complete the package.

Technical Specifications

Sensors

Each sound velocity measurement is made using a single pulse of sound traveling 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 an almost instantaneous response; the digital measurement is also entirely linear, giving predictable performance under all conditions.
