Overview
NOTES: Next day delivery on the PT900 is available to mainland UK when rental paperwork is received by 12 midday (stock permitting).
The PT900 clamp-on flow meter supersedes the successful PT878, and builds on its usability, powerful processor and ruggedness . It benefits from a long battery life, versatility, quick clamp system and a large internal memory making it the ideal portable flow meter for a wide range of applications.
We stock a wide range of accessories and ancillary equipment to be used with the PT900 to suit your application needs.
Our rental PT900s are supplied with the tablet to make programming even easier.
How the PT900 improves on the PT878
- Improved battery life
- New quick clamp system
- Bluetooth capability (program the meter from your phone or tablet)
- New improved user interface
Suitable for many types of survey including:
- Energy usage surveys - the PT900 can be combined with an energy kit to make a full energy meter for measuring energy used and lost in heating and cooling systems.
- Leak detection and water usage surveys - the PT900 can be used for monitoring water consumption and for basic leak detection. It can also be used for checking the accuracy of flow meters of different technologies e.g. electromagnetic, mechanical and vortex.
- Chemical dosing - to measure the dosage of chemicals. As there is no contact with the chemical, chemical compatibility or temperature does not cause an issue

FAQ's
- Liquid: below 50mm CFLP transducers are required, 50-1000mm CRS-402 transducers and 150-8000mm CRS-401 transducers. All the bits you need can be supplied, and delivered with the meter.
- Gas: below 80mm CRS-402 is required, for 80-300mm the CRS-401/CRV-310 and for above 300mm the CRW-312 transducers are required.
- High temperatures: For liquid we can measure +450degC for liquid and for gas/steam +250degC. But please consult RS Hydro.
