GE Panametrics PT878 Portable Ultrasonic Flow Meter -  Rental

Weekly and Monthly  Rental available

Includes:

  • Power cord / charger
  • Panalog data logging software
  • USB - IRD cable.
  • Calibration Certficate

The TransPort PT878 flowmeter packs big features into a compact, light package. Its built-in datalogger can store more than 100,000 data points and up to 32 sets of site location parameters. You can add an optional built-in ultrasonic thickness gage. Temperature transducers are available for measuring energy flow rate. The rechargeable battery provides six to eight hours of continuous remote operation. The unit has a built-in infrared port to transfer datalog, site and other files to your PC. A rugged, sealed enclosure provides IP67 submersibility to protect the PT878 if it should accidentally fall into water.

The PT878 is one of the most powerful portable liquid flowmeters available. It measures flow from outside plastic, metal or concrete-lined pipes nonintrusively, so there’s no pressure drop, leaks or contamination. Patented correlation algorithms resolve transit-time signals like no other flowmeter and allow the PT878 to measure flow in ultrapure to extremely dirty liquids such as raw sewage and slurries
 

* This meter requires sensors and mounting hardware rented separately

Product Heading content

Pipe Size Ranges
  • 0.75 to 12 in (20 to 300 mm) with TransPort PT878GC-01 electronics
  • 4 to 24 in (100 to 610 mm) and larger with TransPort PT878GC-02 electronics
Pipe Wall Thickness Thicker walled pipes require greater gas density. See Installation Requirements Table.
Pipe Materials All metals and plastics. No lined pipes.
Flow Accuracy (Velocity)
  • For pipes 6 in (150 mm) and smaller: ±2% to 5% of reading typical
  • For pipes over 6 in (150 mm): ±1% to 2% of reading typical
Accuracy depends on pipe size and other factors.
Repeatability ±0.2% to 0.5% of reading
Range (Bidirectional) See Installation Requirements Table.
Rangeability (Overall) 150:1
  Specif ications assume a fully developed flow prof ile
(typically 20 diameters upstream and 10 diameters
downstream of straight pipe run) and flow velocity greater
than 5 ft/s (1.5 m/s). Pipes 2 inches (50 mm) or less require
a minimum of 10 ft (3 m) of continuous straight run
without flanges, welds or coupling joints.
