Novel surface velocity sensor makes professional measurement accessible

SOMMER Messtechnik offers a wide range of measurement instruments and systems used in various industries, including hydrology, water power, energy and research. Their product portfolio includes non-contact radar discharge sensors, non-contact radar surface velocity sensors, level sensors, pressure sensors, load cells, and bespoke measurement systems. SOMMER’s leading role in the past 25 years in developing and manufacturing non-contact radars for discharge measurements in rivers has pushed the technology and the instrumentation to become the new standard in surface water measurements.

Due to the growing importance of velocity measurements, SOMMER has developed and launched a brand-new instrument, the  HSR-10 (Handheld Surface Radar). This instrument will revolutionise the non-contact measurement market and is made specifically for the water market. This focus helps to provide the best quality of velocity measurements in addition to a focus on customer needs. 

The HSR also offers possibilities for SOMMER to venture into new markets as the HSR makes professional measurements available to non-expert users. This makes it a great tool for organisations such as the police force and fire brigade, or community-based measurement and data collection whereby professionals can process the data from a data platform.
