DeepSizer 300
Submersible Particle Size & Sediment Concentration Analyzer
The DeepSizer 300 is a rugged, high-performance submersible particle size analyzer designed for in-situ measurement of suspended sediments and particle size distributions directly in natural water bodies. Built for continuous monitoring in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters, this instrument combines laser diffraction technology with advanced optical design and environmental sensing to deliver reliable data under real-world field conditions.
Engineered for long-term deployment, the DeepSizer 300 provides both particle size distribution and suspended sediment concentration measurements in real time, making it a powerful tool for environmental monitoring, water quality assessment, and hydrological research.
Key Features & Capabilities
In-Situ Measurement
The DeepSizer 300 is designed to be submerged directly into water, enabling real-time monitoring of sediment properties without the need for manual sampling or laboratory preparation. This direct measurement approach captures dynamic changes in particle loads and concentration over time.
Wide Particle and Concentration Range
It supports a broad size measurement range from fine particles to larger sediments and handles a wide concentration range, accommodating both clear water and highly turbid conditions with high precision.
Environmental Sensing
In addition to particle size and concentration, the analyzer records key environmental parameters such as water depth, temperature, and conductivity, providing context for sediment behavior and improving overall data insight.
Advanced Optical System
A multi-detector optical array and robust laser source enable dependable scattering measurements even in challenging field environments. This advanced design ensures accurate characterization across a wide range of particle sizes.
Automatic Maintenance Features
The DeepSizer 300 incorporates an automatic optical window cleaning system to minimize fouling and maintain measurement quality over extended deployments. This feature helps reduce maintenance requirements and supports long-term unattended operation.
Flexible Communication Modes
Users can choose from multiple data transmission options including wired connections, wireless (e.g., 4G), or offline data retrieval, enabling adaptability to different monitoring setups and network conditions.
