ULTRASONIC FLOWMETER
FLC...2, FLD
PORTAFLOW-X is a portable type ultrasonic flowmeter utilizing transit time difference for measuring flow rates in pipes from the outside. It is a compact and light-weight instrument incorporating the latest electronics and digital signal processing technolo gies, realizing high performance and easy operation.
FEATURES
1. Compact and light-weight The adoption of the latest electronics and digital signal processing technologies has reduced the size and weight of the converter to 1/7 and 1/5, respectively, in comparison with traditional model. Battery operation This flowmeter is designed for 5 hours of continuous operation with its own built-in battery which is re chargeable in 2 hours with the supplied power adaptor. Full variety of sensors The flowmeter can be used with various types of sen sors applicable for small to large diameter pipe ( φ13 to φ6000) and low to high temperature (–40 to +200°C). High accuracy The flowmeter is designed for high accuracy ( ± 1.0%). The adoption of new sound velocity measurement sys tem permits measurements of fluids of unknown sound velocity, and also slightly affection from fluid tempera ture and pressure. Improvement in anti-bubble characteristic Anti-bubble characteristic is greatly improved by digital signal processing. Quick response With the use of high-speed micro-processor suited for digital signal processing, the response time is at fast as 1 second or less. Multi-lingual The following languages are supported for display: Jap anese (katakana), English, German and French. Excellent performance and easy operation Large type graphic LCD and minimum number of func tion keys are used for page selection, allowing easy setting. – LCD with back light – Equipped with 40000 data logging function of 20 sites – Equipped with received wave monitoring function – Equipped with serial communication function – Easy mounting of sensor – Integrated type graphic printer (option)
