SeaTek specializes in high frequency acoustic instrumentation for both laboratory and field applications.
For the past 20 years, custom designed Seatek Ultrasonic Ranging Systems have been used to meet the industry’s close range high-resolution ranging needs.

A typical Ultrasonic Ranging System is composed of an electronics package and the transducers.
Under most conditions, sub-millimeter vertical resolution can be achieved with our ranging systems.
Electronics Package
The electronics package contains all of the transmitter, receiver, signal processing, and communication electronics. The electronics package streams the range data back to a logging PC which runs supplied software to display and log the range data real-time.
A typical electronics package can run up to 32 transducers and log up to 4 external analog channels.
Transducers
We have developed many different transducer designs and configurations to meet the needs of our clients.
Our most popular and versatile transducer is the cylindrical transducer. They are housed in stainless steel housings and are 1 inch in height and 1/2 inch in diameter and are typically bundled four per cable.
Individual transducers allow for a lot of flexibility in their configuration.
This custom transducer array was built out of stainless steel and was designed to fit flush with the lid of a pressurized chamber.
These custom transducers were designed to mount on the end of threaded rods.
These transducer arrays were designed to mount together to form a continuous transducer array of 32 transducers with 4 cm transducer spacing.
This 32 element transducer array was designed to cover a large section of seabed with high-resolution.
The electronics were housed in a waterproof housing and the transducer connectors were under-water matable.
This 32 transducer field instrument was designed to measure bedforms in the energetic near-shore ocean environment.
