The Valeport CTD600 is a direct reading oceanographic sensor system that measures conductivity, temperature, depth, and salinity. It is primarily designed for use in hydrographic surveys, environmental monitoring, and oceanographic research, particularly in continental shelf operations. The CTD600 is especially suited for calculating the speed of sound through water, which is critical for the calibration of survey echo sounders and acoustic navigation systems.
The CTD600 features a linearized thermistor for temperature measurement, a dual inductive coil sensor for conductivity, and a strain gauge pressure transducer for depth measurement. It is powered by standard dry cells and features a salinity calculation derived from the conductivity and temperature readings. This versatile tool provides accurate measurements and is ideal for use in marine research, tide monitoring, and subsea engineering applications.
