About SonTek/YSI

Founded in 1992 on the premise that precision water velocity measurement should be practical, affordable, and easy, SonTek/YSI today offers the widest variety of acoustic Doppler instrumentation on earth.

Since our invention of the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter in 1993, our product line has grown into a diverse, multi-faceted mix of high technology instruments designed for a wide variety of applications. Put simply, our instruments tell you how fast the water is moving, where it is moving, and even if it is not moving at all. On top of that, just about all our products are offered with an array of ancillary sensors for complete environmental monitoring solutions.

Sold worldwide, our innovative instrumentation is designed on the basis of your requirements to fit the proper environment, measurement criteria, and budget. Our products could be as easily found in a university laboratory as they could in the deep ocean, along the coast, or in a river, lake, or stream. From the depths of the Pacific Ocean, to the Amazon River, to the small creek in your backyard, there are SonTek/YSI instruments hard at work everyday.

And keeping it easy to use is part of what SonTek/YSI is all about. Industry-leading software packages tailored for your application help give you the confidence you need. Be it for directional wave analysis, river discharge calculation, or flow monitoring, SonTek/YSI has a complete solution.
