Capacitance Wave Height Gauges:

AWP-24-2 is ideally suited for indoor and outdoor applications where high accuracy water level measurement is required and for unidirectional and multidirectional wave measurement. It provides an accurate, highly responsive measure of depth changes from sub-millimeter to meters.

Capacitance Wave Height Gauge
  • Monitor waves in hydraulic models and ship tanks
  • Measure multidirectional waves and water surface geometry
  • No dials to turn or jumpers to set. Configure and start measuring with the push of a button
  • No electrical interference with other probes or instrumentation
  • Measures capacitance digitally with no energy discharge into the water
  • Highly linear (0.15% over the measurement range)
  • Fast response time (the output is updated every 5 ms.)
  • Low power consumption (draws only 16 mA of current at 10 volts)
  • Filtered analogue signal output for data capture
  • Highly responsive measure of depth changes from sub-millimeter to meters
  • Guaranteed linearity and accuracy over wide range of water and ambient temperatures
  • Used in both fresh water and salt water

AWP-300 Wave Height Gauge – the only fully digital wave height gauge available today with a digital interface.

Wave Probe Head:
Capacitance Wave Height Gauge
  • Electrical interference with other probes or instrumentation
  • Available in standard lengths of 30 cm, 60 cm, 100 cm, 150 cm and 200 cm or in custom lengths from a few centimetres to meters upon request
3D Wave Height Gauge Array:

It is an array of 4 wave height gauges with combined analysis software to measure directional seas for large or small scale physical modelling studies. It is developed based on the technology from Canadian Hydraulics Centre National of the Research Council Canada.

Wave Generator Control Systems:

Modular solutions both suitable for use on segmented wave generators for generating multi-directional seas states and wave flumes for institutions requiring advanced wave generation capabilities. Support both hydraulic and DC motor systems and offer advanced features such as active wave absorption. Also offer advanced wave generation and analysis software designed for use with control systems.

Data Acquisition Systems:

Data Acquisition System - Basic is a low-cost laboratory system designed to acquire analogue data from up to 8 channels.

Data Acquisition System – Advanced is capable of acquiring high-speed data from both analogue channels and AWP-300 Wave Height Gauges, which includes web-based interfaces for configuring and managing the networked data acquisition server.

Advanced analysis and plotting software are available for use with both systems.

Advanced Wave Generation and Analysis Software:

GEDAP software is from Canadian Hydraulics Centre of the National Research Council Canada for physical modelling in hydrodynamic laboratories. It includes 140 data analysis and wave generation programs for data manipulation, time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, statistical analysis and 2D and 3D random wave generation. The GPLOT interactive plotting package is also available.

Success Stories:

Completed the design and installation of 56-segment wave generator control system upgrade for EDF - Laboratoire National d'Hydraulique et Environnement (EDF-LNHE) in Chatou, France in July 2012. This upgrade includes custom control hardware and software as well as data acquisition hardware and software.
