Standard measuring instruments
Deltares designs and builds instrumentation for flow measurements of waves, water levels, sediment concentrations and bathymetry.
We use these instruments in our research facilities as well as in field studies in rivers, coastal areas and estuaries. Because of this, we know that our instruments are robust, accurate and easy to use. Our instruments are always calibrated before use.
We make use of these instruments:
Measuring sediment concentrations
- Sediment optical - low concentrations OSLIM / FOSLIM / OPCON
- Sediment acoustic - average concentration UHCM
- Sediment conductivity - high concentration
Wave research
Hard- and software
Measurement campaigns
We also advise on setting up measurement campaigns. This includes advice on which instruments are needed for a specific measurement but also whether it is possible to adapt the instruments to the situation. Due to our own work in the field and research facilities, we now have a lot of experience with this.
An example is the meters adapted for the Delta flume, which are equipped with measuring electrodes (wires) made of a titanium alloy with optimal electrical and mechanical properties.
