Overview
The Seametrics PT2X is ideal for observing flow patterns, testing pumps, and monitoring groundwater, well, tank and tidal levels. A pressure and temperature sensor with integrated data logging, this sensor is constructed with 316 stainless steel, fluoropolymer, PTFE—providing highly accurate readings in rugged and corrosive field conditions.
Sensor
- Measures pressure, temperature, and time
- Available in absolute, gauge, or sealed gauge
- Thermally compensated
- ± 0.05% FSO typical accuracy
- Low power: 2 internal AA batteries
- External power options (12 VDC) with AA’s acting as backup
- 316 stainless steel, fluoropolymer, and PTFE construction (titanium optional)
- Available for both Modbus and SDI-12 protocols
Data Logger
- Non-volatile memory: Data will not be lost in the event of a power failure
- Flexible, multi-phase logging sequences: Measure at specified intervals and save instructions to disk for reuse
- Pause logging feature: Temporarily pause the logging while repositioning or transporting the sensor
- Delayed start feature: State a specific future start time, making it easy to set several sensors to start at the same time
Cabling & Networking
- Wireless connectivity
- RS485 network: Allows several sensors to be networked together and provides much longer cable leads
- Field-serviceable connectors: Easily remove the connector, route the cable through well seals, walls, or conduit, and then replace the connector
- Available cableless or with a variety of cable options, including polyethylene, polyurethane, and FEP
Software
- Comes with free Aqua4Plus control software to get up and running immediately
- View data in real-time
- Easy export to spreadsheets and databases
- Barometric compensation utility for use with absolute sensors
- Update sensor via firmware while in the field

Stone Lab: Cyanobacteria Monitoring in Ohio Lakes
Microcystin, one of several toxins produced by the cyanobacteria that form harmful algal blooms (HABs), has become a popular topic of lake research as the human health impacts of HABs become better understood. Stone Lab is one of the leading groups in algal bloom research on Lake Erie and other lakes in Ohio. 
 
For more than 100 years, Stone Lab has conducted biology research and provided science education and outreach to the region. Over the years, thousands of individuals of varying ages have learned from the resources Stone Lab provides. 
 
Stone Lab’s Research Coordinator and Senior Researcher, Justin Chaffin, learned of Stone Lab while an undergraduate student at Bowling Green State University Fireland Campus.

Lake Erie is well known for its abundant recreational fishing. Anglers come from across the country to try their luck at the “walleye capital of the world” and search for other freshwater species, such as bass, perch, and steelhead trout. 
 
 As one of the world’s largest freshwater fisheries, much effort is made behind the scenes to maintain fishing opportunities for visitors to enjoy year after year, efforts that often go unnoticed by the public. 
 
 One of the lake's most important economic and tourism centers is the city of Sandusky, home to the Sandusky Fisheries Research Station . As part of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the unit serves as a base for assessing fish populations and managing harvest with partner agencies from around Lake Erie.
Read MoreHigh Definition Stream Surveys: Informed Management in Local Waterways
When it comes to environmental monitoring, new stream survey methodologies have revealed a great deal about water quality and streambed conditions over time. Such information can be particularly important in leading restoration initiatives and prioritizing management decisions. 
 
Historically, stream surveys have been conducted at a single point along the stream, with data then extrapolated for miles up and downstream. However, Brett Connell, Hydrologist and Director of Sales at Trutta Environmental Solutions, started developing a more intensive stream survey format in his master's program in 2010 at the University of Tennessee.
