Midas SVX2
Fitted With a 0.01% Pressure Sensor as Standard, the SVX2 Also Uses Synchronised Sampling to Ensure Perfect Profiles
Some users need superior Sound Velocity data from an SVP with the Salinity and Density data from a CTD.
Valeport Limited
Totnes, GB
Description
So, Valeport has come up with the unique MIDAS SVX2 that combines both technologies to give the best of both worlds. Since the digital time of flight SV sensor is the most accurate in the world, it’s also possible to compare the actual sound velocity data with that generated by commonly used equations.
