Panametrics PT878 Clamp On Flow Meter

Panametrics PT878 Clamp On Flow Meter  

A portable ultrasonic flow meter suitable for balancing. cooling, surveys, heating, pollution & process control.

  • Accuracy ±0.5% of rate
  • Pipe Sizes: 13-5000mm
  • 8-hour battery life
  • -40 to +150°C temp range as standard. Other ranges available on request.
  • Heat Metering; 2 x 24v signal inputs

The PT868 and PT878 are designed to withstand rugged use in industrial applications including water treatment and distribution, water heating and cooling, chemical processing and heavy hydrocarbon refining. The 878 utilises an acoustic signal-coding technique to make accurate measurements in flows containing gas bubbles or entrained solids.

Using clamp-on transducers the TransPort flowmeter measures flow rate through metal, plastic or even concrete lined pipes, without penetrating the pipe wall. From ultrapure water to corrosive and toxic liquids, the TransPort flowmeter assures leak-free measurement with drift-free measurement. The Transport flowmeter has no moving parts to wear or clog, and as such will never require regular maintenance.

A wide range of transducers are available with different operating frequencies, material construction, operating temperatures and sizes to meet the requirements of rugged industrial environments. To hold the clamp-on transducers with the pipe, a variety of clamping fixtures are available to accommodate different pipe transducers, pipe material and sizes. These include chain, metal strap, VECRO® and magnetic fixtures.

The PT878 is equipped with a rubber boot that provides protection against vibration and shock. The unit is completely sealed to offer IP67 protection: the unit can withstand accidental submersion in water at one meter for one minute.

The meter can log 100,000 data points and download them to the user's PC via an optional wireless infrared connection. All logged values can be transferred to the PC via an infra-red port (PT878 only).

The meter housing weighs in at 1.36kg and is IP-67 rated. A wide range of transducers and clamping fixtures are available for sale or hire.
