Utilising advanced DSP technology, the Portaflow 220 (PF220) is the latest portable flow measurement and recording system to be added to the Micronics range of equipment.

The PF220 can display instantaneous fluid flow rates or velocity, together with totalised values.

A variable current or pulse output, roportional to the detected flow rate, is also produced by the PF220 to enable it to interface with a range of external control devices such as those found in building management or site monitoring systems.

The PF220 is very much designed with 'ease of use' in mind. An interactive QuickStart menu, which simplifies system installation at any suitable location, together with minimal set-up requirements, means that the system can be installed and brought into service very quickly. Furthermore, the application parameters for a particular site can be saved to non-volatile memory and instantly recalled if a site is revisited for monitoring at a later time - further reducing the set-up time. The flow sensors, or transducers, connected to the PF220 instrument are attached to the outside of the pipe being monitored and provide totally non-invasive flow measurement without disturbing the existing plant equipment or process operation.

Standard equipment:

  Portaflow 220 instrument with backlit graphic display
  Power supply - with UK, US, European adapters 110/240VAC
  Transducer cables (x2) 2 metres long
  Transducer set 'A' or 'B' (Depending on model)
  Set of guide rails for use with 'A' or 'B' transducers
  Ruled separation bar (2-piece)
  4-20mA/Pulse output cable
  2 lengths of chain (0.5m for PF220A and 3.3m for PF220B)
  Test block
  Ultrasonic couplant and syringe applicator
  Manual (on CD)

Pipe diameter: Fluid types & conditions:

The maximum permissible pipe outside diameter depends on the type of ultrasonic transducer in use:

  PF220A (type 'A' transducer) - usable with pipes in the range 13mm to 115mm
  PF220B (type 'B' transducer) - usable with pipes in the range 50mm to 1000mm

The maximum permissible pipe temperature is -20°C to +135°C.
