Called to inquire about use and cost of acoustic measuring devices for flow velocity measurement at industrial cooling water intakes.

He said that the costs of an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter will vary depending on instrumentation features such as real-time versus recording but would generally costs between $9,000 to $11,000 or more for each unit. I asked about equipment lifetime and he said that there are no moving parts and it would mostly be dependent on the environment but that at a minimum it should last more than10 years.

I asked about mounting set ups and he said it depended on the requirements could be as simple as a set up of one or more units that could fixed or moved around or a sophisticated system where the probe can automatically move across the face of the screen.
