PRODUCTS/SERVICES

Sound Velocity Sensors & Profilers

Sound Velocity Sensors and Profilers from Valeport, the world leaders in Sound Velocity technology – a position achieved by both innovative development and meticulous attention to detail throughout the design, manufacture and especially calibration processes. Having been established at the forefront of this field nearly a decade ago with Digital Time of Flight technology, Valeport have now made a series of incremental changes to reinforce that position, ensuring that Valeport SV sensors offer levels of performance that are demonstrably far in excess of even the latest offerings from our competitors.

Optical Sensors

Valeport are pleased to introduce the new Hyperion range of optical sensors that kick off with a Fluorometer for measurement of either Chlorophyll, Fluoresceine and Rhodamine.  Hyperion delivers high performance in a wide range with one gain setting for relevant biological ranges.  Supplied in a compact & robust package ideal for ROV, AUV and interface to third party CTD’s or loggers with a scratch and solvent resistant glass window. 

Tide Gauges

If you are looking for tide gauge equipment that can be deployed for either shore based or offshore / seabed applications, together with telemetry packages for secure data transfer then Valeport can offer a comprehensive range of equipment.

Wave Recorders

Wave Recorders from Valeport are a "PUV" type that use Linear Wave Theory to analyse the pressure and current oscillations generated by the wave action.

Current Meters

Whichever type of instrument your require, whether it's the traditional impeller mechanism, or the high accuracy electromagnetic type, Valeport can offer a solution.

Echosounders and Bathymetry Instruments

Whether you are surveying, dredging or managing underwater operations, accurate bathymetric data is critical, be it overall water depth or the location of specific instrumentation within the water column. Valeport presents a variety of integrated instrumentation packages designed to provide that high quality data, whatever the application.

Ocean Engineering

Valeport has the benefit of over 40 years' experience in the design, manufacture and integration of precision oceanographic instruments, and today's range of products is designed specifically to facilitate the assembly of complex packages, as well as easy interface to third party systems.

CTD and Multiparameter Instruments

The CTD is perhaps the most commonly used tool in an oceanographer's armoury, providing detailed profile and time series data on the measured parameters Conductivity, Temperature and Pressure, but more particularly the calculated values of Salinity, Density and Sound Velocity. Valeport offers a selection of instruments, from simple plug on sensors for OEM applications through hand held systems and devices for long term monitoring at fixed sites, to multiparameter profiling systems for deep ocean applications. 

Telemetry Instruments

Telemetry Instruments provide the solution to the common need to transmit data reliably, quickly and cost effectively from remote locations. Valeport offer a range of instruments from short range Bluetooth modules, medium range VHF/UHF radio modules and range independent GSM/GPRS modules.
