Wave Sensor (Capacitance Based)

The Wave Sensor is designed for hydrodynamic model studies and wave measurements in model tanks and wave flumes. The sensor can be fixed vertically at different locations to measure wave heights and wave periods. The compact design allows minimal disturbance to the water body. The sensors can also be used in fresh and semi-saline water environments.

Key Features

● Capacitance-based wave measurement technology.
● Fast response suitable for model studies.
● Designed to minimize disturbance in the water body.
● Can be positioned at different locations in wave flumes and model tanks.
● Suitable for measuring wave height and wave period.
● Selectable measurement ranges.

Applications

● Hydrodynamic model studies
● Model tanks
● Wave flumes
● Wave measurement experiments
● Laboratory wave studies
● Experimental studies requiring measurements at multiple locations

Installation and Positioning

The sensor can be fixed vertically at different locations within a wave flume or model tank.
This arrangement allows wave characteristics to be measured at multiple points along the direction of wave propagation.

Additional Technical Specifications

●Output : Digital TTL with advanced facility to communicate through long cable.
