YSI Hydrodata
... sustaining the quality and
viability of the Earth's water resources with the World's
most accurate and reliable water quality and hydrology measurement
technologies
YSI Hydrodata is a wholly owned subsidiary of YSI Inc, manufacturers of
water quality testing and monitoring instruments and systems YSI water
quality meters and multiparameter water quality sondes are market leaders
all over the world with a reputation for high levels of accuracy and reliability.
YSI's water quality measuring instruments are designed for laboratory
and field use - for example, a full range of lab test meters are avialable
in addition to hand held water quality testing devices that can also be
used for testing streams, rivers, reservoirs, boreholes etc. Thousands
of YSI multiparameter water quality sondes are in regular use, either
as portable measuring instruments, or in a fixed location recording data
to the sondes's own internal datalogger. These sondes can be fitted with
a wide variety of water quality, level and flow sensors including DO (dissolved
oxygen), pH, temperature, turbidity, EC (conductivity), salinity, ORP,
chlorophyll, open-channel flow, velocity, vented level, nitrate-nitrogen,
ammonium-nitrogen, ammonia, chloride, rhodamine, depth, light, PAR (photosynthetically
active radiation). YSI also builds water quality monitoring systems and
wireless networks that record data on internal loggers and transmit the
water quality data via satellite, gsm, cellphone, or radio. Alternatively,
data collection staff can download readings during routine visits to the
water quality monitoring station. Water quality sondes can be mounted
in the point of greatest water quality interest, such as close to a discharge,
on the river or sea bed, or mounted on a buoy for surface water quality
measurements.
YSI water quality monitoring sondes are built to a high standard, providing
accurate and reliable data. The YSI continuous water quality monitors
are currently undergoing evaluation under the MCERTS accreditation scheme.
YSI SonTek is also a member fo the
YSI group and complete the water monitoring portfolio with instruments
and systems for measuring water velocity, level and flow. YSI SonTek are
recognised as world leaders in water velocity measurement. SonTek invented
the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter in 1993, and now offer a comprehensive
range of water monitoring instruments including profilers, current meters,
velocimeters, river surveyors and wave guage systems, with applications
ranging from water monitoring in the laboratory to small streams, and
from rivers and reservoirs to coastal and deep ocean installations.
