SV•Xchange™ Now Available on Micro SV
|
|
|
Applied Microsystems (AML) is pleased to announce that SV·Xchange™ - the world’s only exchangeable, field-swappable sound velocity sensor – is now available on Applied Microsystems’ Micro SV sound velocity instruments.
SV·Xchange™ was launched in early March, 2008 at Oceanology International in London. The sensor’s field-swappability eliminates the need for entire instruments to be returned for recalibration. Reduced instrument downtime adds convenience and flexibility while eliminating unnecessary shipping costs reduces the cost-of-ownership. In addition to being field-swappable, SV·Xchange™ is more accurate and more precise than existing sound velocity sensors and performs better in high turbidity environments.
SV·Xchange™ was initially only available on Applied Microsystems’ sound velocity profiler, the SV Plus v2. Since the product’s launch, customer enthusiasm has been extremely high, with many requests for immediate availability on smaller instruments like the Micro SV. This now means that SV·Xchange™ sensors can be connected to both SV Plus v2 and Micro SV instruments, dramatically increasing the overall value of the SV·Xchange™ solution.

The Micro SV measures sound velocity using time-of-flight technology. Extremely small in size, the instrument also has high speed sampling rates and rapid sensor response times. The instrument is externally powered and outputs data in real-time.
Applied Microsystems’ Micro SV provides single-sensor, direct measurement of sound velocity. By directly measuring the time-of-flight of an acoustic ping, the Micro SV improves sound velocity accuracies by a factor of five over CTD based calculations such as Chen & Millero or Del Grosso.
In addition to its small packaging, the Micro SV offers other significant advantages. Hi-tech composite sensor materials provide dramatic improvements in temperature response times. Composite sensors also eliminate path length change due to vibration, corrosion and temperature. Finally, sacrificial zinc anodes are not required, simplifying maintenance operations.
