Handheld Ultrasonic Flow Meter With Datalogging Functionality
Portasonic® PLUS is an advanced portable ultrasonic transit-time flow meter engineered for precise measurement, internal recording, and exporting of flow rates within various pipes. It employs a customizable pre-programmed database, enabling compatibility with a diverse array of pipe materials and liquid types. This versatility makes it a highly adaptable solution for specific monitoring applications.
Key Features:
- Ultrasonic Transit-Time Measurement: Utilizes ultrasonic waves to accurately measure the flow rate by analyzing the time difference of the wave transmission.
- Portability: Compact and easy to transport, ideal for field measurements and various industrial applications.
- Customizable Database: Pre-loaded with data for multiple pipe materials and liquid types, enhancing its adaptability to different operational environments.
- Internal Recording: Capable of storing measurement data internally for later analysis.
- Export Functionality: Allows for the easy export of data to other systems for further processing and reporting.
Tillämpningar:
- Industrial fluid monitoring
- Water and wastewater management
- Chemical processing
- HVAC systems
- Energy and utilities management
Portasonic® PLUS stands out as a reliable and user-friendly tool for those needing precise flow rate monitoring across various sectors.
Precision Flow Rate Measurement
Portasonic® PLUS provides measurements to within ±0.5% of the true flow rate. This precision is enhanced by several features:
- Customisable, pre-programmed database – With 19+ fluid types and 23+ pipe materials.
- Integrated ultrasonic thickness gauge – To monitor pipe wall thickness and ensure it meets operational safety requirements.
- Built-in signal oscilloscope – To provide sensor diagnostics and verify measurement process.
- 3 measurement methods – To allow for the most appropriate application on different pipe size. See brochure for details.
- Two sensor options – To fit different pipe diameters, with waterproofed variants also available.
System Integration with Datalogging and Export
Portasonic® PLUS includes a 4MB internal storage which allows measurements to be recorded and saved to the device. This can either be exported later via micro USB, or can be directly logged via Micro USB onto a PC in real-time.
Datalogging provides a verifiable record of system functionality and safety, and by recording the flow rate with a frequency of 1Hz as standard, allows for consistent recording and analysis of the flow rate.
The clamp-on Portasonic® PLUS sensors mean it can be non-invasively applied to almost any pipe as a continuous monitoring solution, but be easily transferred to a different location if monitoring requirements change. This gives Portasonic® PLUS dual functionality as both a permanent and portable monitoring solution, dependent on your needs.

3 Flow Rate Metrics
Portasonic® PLUS can portray flow rate in one of three ways to optimise data utility:
- Volumetric Flow Rate: In litres per minute or gallons per minute, the volume of liquid transferred within a pipe. The standard measurement for most industrial applications.
- Mass Flow Rate: In kilograms per minute or lbs per minute, the mass of liquid transferred within a pipe, calculated by the device using density and flow rate. Commonly used in loading or unloading processes, eg. fuel transfers.
- Heat/Energy Flow Rate: In kilowatts per hour or British Thermal Units (BTU) per second, the amount of thermal energy transferred by a pipe’s contents. Commonly used for measurement in heating or coolant pipes.
