TRANSPORT® PT868 PORTABLE LIQUID FLOWMETER

DSP also eliminates electronicdrift adjustments. Now, thehigher accuracy of theTransPort flowmeter is availablefor many applications whereonly less accurate meters couldbe used before.ACCURACYWITHOUT PENETRATINGTHE PIPELINE. There’s nolonger any need to break intothe pipeline to get accurateflow measurement. Now youcan get it with a TransPortflowmeter.Nonintrusive Clamp-OnTransducers Mean No Leaks,Corrosion or Contamination.This flowmeter’s accuracyis typically 1/2 to 2% of reading.For greater accuracy, bothclamp-on and wetted installationscan be calibrated. Withthe TransPort flowmeter you gethigh accuracy without pressuredrop or pipeline obstruction.SO VERSATILE YOU CANUSE IT ANYWHERE.The TransPort flowmeter lets youmeasure flow rate with a turndownratio of 400 to 1, in pipesizes from 1/2 inch (12.7 millimeters)to more than 16 feet (5meters), at temperatures up to500°F (260°C). Use the TransPortflowmeter to measure the flowrate of potable water, effluentwater, ultrapure liquids, andcorrosive or erosive liquids, aswell as to perform mass orenergy balances in heatingand cooling systems.The TransPort flowmetercan also be used to troubleshootother flowmeter installations.From pure water to crudeoil, this meter does it all.QUICK AND EASY TO USE.It’s possible to make your firstflow measurement withinminutes of opening the box. TheTransPort flowmeter is that easyto use. Simply input the siteparameters, clamp the transducersonto the pipe, adjust thespacing, and you’re underway.No ancillary equipment isneeded, and there’s no needto break into the pipeline.This flowmeter’s software ismenu driven. On-line helpfunctions include pipe dimensionsand sound speed data forvarious liquids and pipe materials.When needed, you canmeasure liquid sound speedand pipe wall thickness directlywith the meter. An experienceduser can make scores ofdifferent measurements in asingle day. The TransPortflowmeter is ideal for all kinds offlow survey work.BUILT TO BEECONOMICAL AND TOSTAY ECONOMICAL.To be of real value, a portableflowmeter must be as economicalto own and operateas it is capable in the field.Using the latest microcircuitand manufacturing technologies,the TransPort flowmeter isbuilt to stay in service for manyyears. Completely solid state,the device never wears out orneeds servicing, which meansno downtime and no maintenancecosts.This flowmeter’s state-ofthe-artdesign is more economicalto produce, and wepass the savings on to you.The TransPort flowmeter isaffordable and will continueto save money by streamliningyour measurementprocess andtrimminglabor costs.The Complete TransPort Flowmeter SystemFits in a Compact Carrying Case.The TransPortFlowmeter UsesDigital SignalProcessing For HigherAccuracy InTwo-Phase & PerfectlyClean Liquids.This flowmeter’s patented digitalsignal-processing (DSP) techniquegreatly increases its signal-to-noiseratio for accurate, drift-free flowmeasurement in two-phase liquidscontaining entrained solids, liquiddroplets or gas bubbles. The TransPortflowmeter operates in these andother difficult applications where conventionaltransit-time flowmeters fail.The TransPort flowmeter alsoaccurately measures flow rate inperfectly clean liquids containingno “scatterers,” where Doppler-typeflowmeters cannot work. The TransPortflowmeter is suited for all standardtransit-time applications, plus manythat would prevent other transit-timeflowmeters from working.Compared to Doppler-typeultrasonic flowmeters, the TransPortflowmeter is more accurate. That’sbecause this flowmeter’s transittimemethod gives an actualmeasurement of the fluid velocity.Doppler-type ultrasonic flowmetersare less accurate because theymeasure the velocity of the movingparticles in the fluid, not theaverage flow rate of the fluid. Youno longer need a less accurateDoppler-type flowmeter for these“dirty” applications.The TransPort flowmeter systemoffers all the superiorperformanceof a technologicallyadvancedtransit-timeflowmeter in acompact, lightweight,portablepackage.
