GENERAL ACOUSTICS GMBH is a high technology producer of special Echo-Sounders, Water Level and Wave Measuring Systems and the developer of the innovative LOG_aDSLP® / DSLP® Technology. The Company was founded in 1996 by Physicists and Engineers and is located in Kiel, Northern Germany.

DSLP®, “Detection of Sediment Layers and Properties”, has rapidly become industrial standard for modern port management, water way management, dredging industry, environmental monitoring, sediment transport, fishing industry, off-shore platform construction or for sea water or sediment embedded pipeline and cable construction..

General Acoustics has developed a wide range of sounding products and systems as well as sensors for laboratory as well as marine and engineering applications.

 

LOG_aLevel®

LOG_aLevel is a complete, remote sensing, stand-alone water level gauge on the basis of ultrasonic sensors with solar power supply (optional windgenerator). The system works automatically and is independent of any external connections. High performance ultrasonic sensors guarante robust, reliable, fast and precise measurements of all kinds of waterlevels and it’s dynamics (up to steep waves).  

LOG_aDSLP® - a new Quality in Echo Sounding

LOG_aDSLP is totally new and different to all other currently available hydroacoustic systems. LOG_aDSLP actually allows you to scan 60 m or more into the sediment under the sea. LOG_aDSLP is based on a revolutionary new concept.

It uses different frequencies out of a broad frequency range to stimulate the interaction between sound wave and material. LOG_aDSLP detects this interaction with a very high resolution. LOG_aDSLP uses thereby interactions which are dependent on signal frequency as well those which are independent from signal frequency.

The results are precisely determined layer interfaces and their material-stages (fluid and solid).
 

UltraLAB® ULS: Sensing Water Levels and Waves
 

The UltraLab® ULS is an easy to handle ultrasonic laboratory measuring system, which measures water levels and waves fast and precisely, e.g. in basins, flumes, surface water models and towing tanks. 



The UltraLab® ULS Advanced is a high precision measuring system based on ultrasound technology for towing tanks and hydraulic labs. It can measure very steep and very fast moving waves with a relative velocity up to 15m/s.

UltraLAB® UWS - The Lab Echosounder

The miniature echo sounder UltraLab UWS works with an ultrasonic-impulse-run time procedure. It was developed for highly time- and position-resolved measurements of distances in fluids. With optional sensors, measurements through container walls are also possible. The easy to use laboratory measuring instrument UltraLab UWS is distinguished by its various functions and configurations, which enables its use for complex measuring tasks.

Measurement objects may be the bottom, a target within the fluid, or the surface of the fluid. A complex measuring algorithm ensures a high accuracy and resolution, as well as a high data security.

The measured distance is directly shown on a four digit display. The according analog voltage value is send out through a BNC socket at the front of equipment. The measured range, as well as the output voltage can be adapted to the requirements of the overall measuring system.
