TransPort PT900 Spec Sheet.pdf

TransPort® PT900 PT900 portable ultrasonic flowmeter for liquids The TransPort PT900 is the latest generation of portable clamp-on flow meters from Panametrics line of ultrasonic meters. It capitalizes on the ruggedness and superior performance of its predecessor, the TransPort PT878, but delivers a whole new level of intuitive and us-er-friendly capability based on today’s technology.

TransPort PT900 makes your job so much easier The PT900 has undergone the most involved voice of the user effort to date for Panametrics flow products.

Several years of learning about how people use portable flow meters and what they want and need while making flow rate measurements have influenced the PT900’s design. Panametrics validated this learning and modified the design ap-proach by sharing initial concepts and early prototypes with users. The result? The best portable flow meter needs to be versatile, easy to install, intuitive to use and capable of making reliable measurements even in the most difficult applications.

What’s new about the TransPort PT900?

The PT900 maintains the same high performance as the PT878, but features a total redesign of the flow transmitter, clamping fixture and user interface. Key improve-ments include a redesigned fixture and a streamlined user interface on an Android tablet.

PT900 is designed to improve the user experience and deliver a measurement that inspires a high level of user confidence. All users, regardless of experience level with the meter, will be able to:

Pipe wall thickness

Up to 3 in. (76.2 mm)

Pipe material All metals and most plastics Consult Panametrics for concrete, composite materials and highly corroded or lined pipes.

Accuracy • ±1% of reading (2 in./50 mm or greater pipe sizes)

• ±2% of reading (0.5 in./15 mm to <2 in./50 mm pipe sizes)

Installation assumes a fully developed, symmetrical flow profile (typically 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream of straight pipe run).

Final installation accuracy is a function of multiple factors including fluid, temperature range, pipe centricity among other factors.

Pipe layouts with obstructions (bends, tees, valves, etc.) will result in different levels of meter reading bias. Dual-path readings in opposite planes can be used to indicate the presence of bias (assymetrical flow profile).

Reasonable accuracy (±5% of reading) could be maintained in non-ideal conditions down to approximately 5D upstream and 1D downstream with accurate inputs, acceptible diafgnostic parameters, and dual plane readings in close agreement with a simple flow disturbance. Other piping layout resulting in a non-fully developed flow profile will deliver different biases. Computation fluid dynamics (CFD) corrections can also be used in non-ideal conditions.
