Pressure sensor

for boatsport

Pressure sensors are a popular instrument for nearshore wave measurements. Obscape’s pressure-based Wave Gauge adds real-time data transfer and solar power into the mix, providing a very complete and convenient package for wave observations. With the pressure sensor mounted below the water surface and the data logger above, real-time wave observations in a harbour basin, at an offshore platform or at a shore-based pier or jetty become very convenient. Whether you are interested in improving navigational safety or wish to investigate the impact of waves on coastal morphology, Obscape’s pressure-based Wave Gauge suits your needs. MAIN APPLICATIONS - Stationary offshore structures - Piers and jetties - Estuaries and lagoons Key Features Accurate wave data Industry-grade pressure sensor Maximum depth 5 m Real-time data Solar-powered Real-time data: 4G & 2G (upgradable to Satellite) Multiple mounting options Versatile data portal included Product Overview Wave monitoring plays an important role in various fields of science and industry. The Wave Gauge is suitable for application whenever a fixed structure is available to mount the device to. This can either be a platform, pier, jetty, pole, bridge deck, etc. How does it measure? The instrument measures the wave-induced water pressure using an industry-grade pressure sensor. Internal processing algorithms based on linear wave theory will convert the pressure timeseries into non-directional wave spectra and bulk wave parameters.
