Coltraco Portasonic 2FL0 Handheld, clamp-on, transit time ultrasonic flow meter

Portasonic 2FL0

The Portasonic 2FL0 portable ultrasonic transit time flow meter is an innovation that stands out as a game-changer when it comes to accurately and efficiently measuring flow rates. This portable flow meter was developed using cutting-edge technology, and it has been carefully tested and validated at an ISO 17025 laboratory. As a result, it has an unrivaled accuracy of up to +/- 0.5% of the real flow rate, which makes it ideal for use in a variety of applications. Let’s take a closer look at the unique qualities and benefits that set the Portasonic 2FL0 different from other flow meters on the market today.

Accurate Measuring Capabilities Across a Wide Range of Flow Types

The Portasonic 2FL0 is a flexible device that can measure a wide variety of flows, including the following:

1. Volumetric Flow Rate: The Portasonic 2FL0 has you covered, regardless of whether you’re working with liters per hour (l/h) or gallons per minute (gpm) units of measurement.
2. Mass Flow Rate: Do you need to convert your measurements into kilograms per hour (kg/h)? There is no need to look any further than this highly-developed flow meter.
3. Heat or Energy Flow Rate:  The Portasonic 2FL0 records everything from kilowatt hours (kWh) to British Thermal Units (BTU).

Additionally, the device offers individual totalization of measured data, which enables you to monitor the cumulative flow rate during certain measurement sessions. This function is made possible by the fact that the device has many measurement channels.

Advantages That Redefine What It Means to Be Excellent

The Portasonic 2FL0 is loaded with features that set it different from other products in its class, including the following:

1. Unparalleled Build Quality, as the company puts it: This flow meter is crafted from a specific composite material that has been optimized for ultrasonic transmission. As a result, it provides readings that are reliable and constant.

2. Built-in Oscilloscope: in other words. Every single unit has an oscilloscope that is built in for the purpose of doing signal analysis. This priceless instrument helps ensure accurate measurements are taken throughout the setup process, hence improving measurement accuracy.

3. Integrated Thickness Gauge: [Integrated Thickness Gauge] The inbuilt ultrasonic thickness gauge makes it a breeze to do non-destructive testing (NDT), which stands for non-destructive testing. Within a single piece of equipment, it is possible to both measure the wall thickness of pipes and detect corrosion.

4. ISO 17025 Calibration:  Investing in an ISO 17025 calibration certificate is a great way to bolster your trust in the results of tests. This partnership with a well-known flow laboratory in the UK that is accredited to ISO 17025 ensures that the equipment is accurate and meets all of your requirements.

Exceptional Technical Capabilities Across a Wide Range of Applications

The Portasonic 2FL0 has remarkable technological qualities, including the following:

• Pipe Compatibility: This flow meter is suitable for pipes ranging in diameter from DN15 all the way up to DN2500, making it suitable for a diverse selection of applications.
• Fluid Compatibility: The Portasonic 2.FL0 maintains its high level of performance when used with a wide range of pipe materials as well as with clean liquids.
• Accuracy and Range: The gadget achieves accuracy within +/- 0.5% under ideal circumstances and measures flow velocities ranging from 0.01 m/s to 25 m/s. Its accuracy is within this range under ideal conditions.
• You can count on accurate readings if the device has a resolution of 0.25 mm/s and a repeatability of 0.15% of the value being measured.
• Rugged Design: With an ingress protection rating of IP65 for the main unit and IP66 for the sensors, this flow meter is constructed to endure harsh conditions.
• Temperature Range: The sensors are able to withstand temperatures ranging from -20 degrees Celsius to +150 degrees Celsius, which ensures their adaptability across a wide range of applications.
• Battery Life Expectancy: You should have no problem maintaining uninterrupted operation since a normal 9V PP3 battery can support up to 12 hours of continuous usage.

The Unparalleled Advantages of Employing Non-Invasive Ultrasonic Transit Time Technology

When it comes to flow measurement, choose the Portasonic 2FL0 and take advantage of a plethora of benefits over inline flow measuring technology, including the following:

•  Clamp-On Convenience: Forget about the headaches associated with installation. This portable flow meter is both non-invasive and clamp-on, which facilitates its usage across a variety of pipe sections without any difficulty.
• Zero Installation Downtime: Unlike more conventional techniques, which entail drilling into pipes, the Portasonic 2FL0 avoids installation downtime, which ensures that pipe network operation may continue uninterrupted.
• Prevention of Pressure Loss: Because there is no touch with the fluid being monitored, the dangers of experiencing pressure loss are eliminated, resulting in ideal flow conditions being maintained.
• Because it does not come into contact with the fluid, the flow meter has a longer lifetime and lower maintenance costs as compared to inline equivalents that are subjected to potentially harmful pressured fluids.
