PORTAFLOW D550
|
|
Non-Contacting
|
|
Doppler Flow Meter
|
|
|
|
Use a PF D550 Portable Doppler Flow Meter to
monitor and balance flow, or to troubleshoot
|
|
flow problems
in full pipes. It is ideal to evaluate performance of in-line flow meters and
can
|
|
be installed,
calibrated and started-up in minutes. Use it for projects where a permanent
|
|
flowmeter
is not required or to temporarily replace installed flow transmitters.
|
|
|
|
The PF D550 ultrasonic sensor is
clamped on the outside of a pipe. An acoustic pulse is reflected
|
|
back to the sensor from particles or gases in the flowing
liquid. The flow rate of any fluid can be
|
|
measured as long as it contains air bubblers or solids. It is
ideal for wastewater, slurries, sludge and
|
|
most chemicals, acids, caustics and lubrication fluids. With
its internal battery the PF D550 can be
|
|
operated all day and then recharged overnight. For continuous
use it can be powered by a
|
|
supplied 110-240VAC wall plug adapter. A 300,000 point data
logger is built-in.
