Overview

The HOBO U20L-01 is a low-cost, research-grade water level data logger for continuously measuring water level and temperature in a wide range of underwater environments. It features 0.1% measurement accuracy, a polypropylene housing for use in both fresh and salt water, and a non-vented design for convenient and hassle-free deployment.

Highlighted Features

  • Self-contained non-vented design enables easy deployment
  • Ideal for use in both fresh and saltwater environments, including wells, streams, lakes, wetlands, and tidal areas 
  • Depths up to 30 feet
  • Durable ceramic pressure sensor withstands freezing
  • HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure (see demo), temperature, and water density

Note: A calibration certificate is not offered for this logger. If you require a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, please see the U20-001-01 (freshwater) or U20-001-01-Ti (saltwater).

In what environment does this data logger operate?

This data logger operates in outdoor and underwater environments.

What measurements does this data logger support?

The U20L-01 data logger supports the following measurements: Absolute Pressure, Barometric Pressure, Temperature and Water Level

Pressure (Absolute) and Water Level Measurements U20L-01
Operation Range 0 to 207 kPa (0 to 30 psia); approximately 0 to 9 m (0 to 30 ft) of water depth at sea level, or 0 to 12 m (0 to 40 ft) of water at 3,000 m (10,000 ft) of altitude
