The RP-30 v2 mobile measuring device, also known as Radar Profiler or radar current meter, generates surface velocity profiles in rivers and channels. When combined with data on river cross-sections and water level, it accurately determines discharge. This versatile tool proves particularly invaluable in challenging flow conditions,

 such as shallow waters or during flood events.

Due to the non-contact technology, the RP-30 v2 emerges as the ideal device for swiftly measuring, fast and high turbidity flood rivers…

…but also easily handles shallow rivers and clear water scenarios

The RP-30 v2 stands out as a remarkably versatile system, making it a valuable addition to your instrument arsenal. Its capabilities not only reduce measurement times but also provide the opportunity to assess flow conditions that other instruments cannot capture.

Built to endure, the RP-30 boasts longevity, with its proven SOMMER radar module ensuring accuracy and reliability. Operating the RP-30 v2 measurement is seamless with the RP-30 v2 commander software, which guides users through each step with ease.

The RP-30 v2 offers several deployment options, including:

RP-30 v2 on a tripod

RP-30 v2 used on a hand-rail (with included Handrail carriage)

RP-30 v2 fixed on cable system

The RP-30 v2measures the surface velocity of water. By relocating the RP-30 v2 from position to position, the RP-30 v2 commander software efficiently gathers the surface velocity distribution data.
Combined with the cross-section profile, the RP-30 v2 commander software calculates discharge in real-time.

In the new RP-30 v2 commander software, the SOMMER hydraulic model employs the continuity equation to accurately calculate discharge.

Q= A x vm

Q= Discharge
A= Area
vm= mean velocity

In the NEW RP-Commander, the SOMMER hydraulic model dynamically calculates the mean velocity by multiplying the surface velocity with automatically generated k-factors. This model has been proven in thousands of operations, ensuring reliability and accuracy.

vm= vl x k

vm= mean velocity
vl= surface velocity
k= k-factor

The k-factors are dynamically generated by the RP-30 v2 commander software for each velocity measurement, leveraging the cross-section profile, water level, and riverbed roughness (friction).

The user-friendly RP-30 v2 commander software provides step-by-step guidance through the measurement process. Available in various languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Russian and many more, it ensures accessibility for users worldwide.
