Description

The Quick Instream Q(flow) & Uncertainty Analysis Calculator (QiQuac™) is a serial datalogger designed for Salt Dilution flow measurements.  The user interface assists the hydrographer by presenting a graphical representation of the conductivity over time, calculating flow (Q), and estimating the associated uncertainty.  This ability to employ Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) to field measurements helps to reduce costs associated with field work.  This can expedite the permitting process, ensure compliance, and reduce risk associated with natural resource development.

Read about how we calculate the CF.T and estimate the uncertainty for a SDIQ within QiQuac.  Or read about how easy it is to measure the flow with QiQuac or download the latest version of the SDIQ Excel Workbook.  Have a look at a video showing the QiQuac in action.  The YouTube version features auto-translate subtitles into other languages, while the Vimeo version can be downloaded to a mobile device for reference. Watch the latest QiQuac go tete-a-tete with the bucket, or volumetric method.  Or dive into the highly entertaining and provocative QiQuac Manual.

Continuing with our MO of unpronounceable and obscure references, the Fee-Oh is the latest edition to the Fathom menagerie.  This is a QiQuac Classique kit minus the QiQuac.  Wha!  That’s right, we pair the T-HRECS directly to our new QiQuac Mobile App, available for download on the Google Play Store.  Process measurements in realtime on your Android Device with or without internet connection.  Sync with the Salt Portal when back in civilization.  The Fee-Oh kits are designed with your budget in mind, saving $$$ and reducing materials.

QiQuac™ Fee-Oh Highlander: The Fee-Oh kit plus a third sensor for upstream or downstream measurements and a fourth independent AT T-HRECS-DL datalogger unit.  This is great for urban or agricultural sites with varying BG-ECT signals..

Features

Logs Serial EC, T, and EC.T data to internal SD Card from the T-HRECS sensors.

Calculates Q (Flow) in real time.

Calculates Uncertainty in the field for QA/QC and Grades measurement with A, B, or C based on user preferences.

Graphically displays pulse as it travels past the probe.

Waterproof, handsome, and durable.

>14 hours of internal rechargeable battery life, or indefinite external battery service.

*Compatible with Fathom Scientific Salt Portal to manage and post-process all your field measurements.

QiQuac Highlander Edition!

Features a 3rd U/S probe and T-Ekho Radio Repeater to monitor BG-ECT during a measurement. Well suited to urban and agricultural runoff streams with active BG ECT signals. Check out the Highlander Edition Manual which features QiQuac’s plucky cousin Hamish in all kinds of salt-related misadventures.  NEW includes a 4th T-HRECS DL sensor for independent logging when radio comms to the QiQuac are not possible.
