The Panametrics GM868 is a multi purpose gas flow meter. The GM868 is suitable for measuring the flow of most gases including fuel gases, waste gases, stack gases and others. It is a complete ultrasonic flow metering system. The GM868 uses transit time technology to determine flow rates. It can do the job of several conventional meters, due to its wide range of measurement velocities and pipe sixes. The GM868 can measure the flow in pipes ranging from 1 inch to 120 inches in diameter (2.5cm to 3m) and also velocities ranging from 0.1 to 150ft/s. These velocities can be measured in either direction and in steady or pulsating flow.
A two channel meter can also be chosen to provide maximum accuracy by measuring along two paths in the same channel. The dual channel instrument can also be used to either measure the flow in two separate pipes or even at two seperate points on the same pipe.
The GM868 is an extremely low maintenance flow meter as it has no moving parts to be worn out, and no parts to collect debris, this means that there is no need to clean, lubricate or do any other routine maintenance. There is also no pressure drop caused by the GM868's transducers, as they do not obstruct the flow, which is a common problem with other types of flow meters.
The GM868 offers either analogue and digital output options, which make it easy for the user to have the data sent to where it needs to be. There is also the choice of having alarm outputs. These outputs can all be set up and calibrated form the a computer using the Panaview software or from the keypad.
Features and benefits
- The GM868 can measure all acoustically conductive gases.
- Very low maintenance flow meter- as it has no moving parts.
- The GM868's transducers do not cause pressure drops.
- Suitable for high temperature use.
- Has a choice of digital or analogue outputs which can be set up from the keypad or computer.
- Single channel or dual channel meters available (allows flow measurement in two points in the same pipe or in two separate pipes)
- Wide pipe size range of 1 inch to 120 inches.
