Valeport Mini SVS

Valeport Mini Sound Velocity Sensor (Mini-SVS)
 
Description
Mini Sound Velocity Sensor (MiniSVS) can be used to measure the speed of sound at sea level. Usually, the SVS is installed adjacent to the multibeam echosounder transducer. MiniSVP is equipped with a titanium body making it very suitable for surveillance and research operations from coastal to deep water.
