Sedimeter®: An instrument for measuring erosion and sedimentation, also known as scour and siltation, and sediment transport in water.
New: SediMeter Model 2 - follow this link for the latest specifications

SediSond: A sond for measuring sediment thickness in reservoirs with gas-charged sediments. An accelerometer measures the behaviour of the sond when it makes contact with the sediments.

SediPing: A PC software that converts a generic echo-sounder to a computer-based sub-bottom profiler with user control over signal processing.

HazMit: GIS-based expert system for natural hazard mitigation.

Instruments for measuring at the bottom

  • Scour, erosion
  • Siltation, sediment accumulation, sedimentation
  • Sediment thickness
  • Real time readout or data logging

    Instrument Purpose
    SediMeter Monitor erosion and sedimentation in situ with high precision down to 50 m depth, during several months
    SediSond Measure sediment thickness, especially in gas-charged sediments where acoustic signals do not penetrate
    SediPing Virtual-instrument software that creates a digital sub-bottom profiler with full user control over signal processing

  • Instruments for measuring in the water

  • Suspended sediment concentration
  • Near-bed sediment concentration profile

    Instrument Purpose
    Sedimeter Measures very high near-bed sediment concentrations
