Portable. Precise. Practical.
The real advantage becomes clear from the moment you start to collect data. Each step of the way, FlowTracker2 guides you along the measurement process with visual prompts and SmartQC audio alerts just in case something important needs your attention. FlowTracker2 handheld software is intuitive, easy to navigate, and includes real-time plots of point data, QC parameters, and measurement verticals, giving you everything you need at-a-glance. Get defensible data correctly, the first time, every time, and minimize data handling back at the office.
Whenever and Wherever You Need
With rugged construction for any climate and multiple display options for both day and night, FlowTracker2 goes whenever and wherever you need it to go. This includes:
- Natural Streams, Open Channels & Lakes
- Irrigation Canals
- Mining Channels
- Water Treatment
- Storm Water
- Weirs / Flumes
FlowTracker2 uses SonTek’s tried-and-true ADV technology, vetted for decades by experts across the globe in hydraulics labs and wide-ranging field environments. Improved and perfected for FlowTracker2, the acoustic-based ADV sensor offers unparalleled accuracy, particularly in low flow and any wading device's shallowest water. 2-D data in the horizontal plane (2D/3D option available) allows the most comprehensive QC and understanding of flow conditions. User calibration is never required, and 24/7 tech support from SonTek and our worldwide team is only a call away.
