Coltraco – Flow

Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Using an ultrasonic flow meter is a simple and accurate means to measure and record flow rates in pipework. Coltraco Ultrasonics is a leading Ultrasonic Flow Meter manufacturer of the Portasonic® 2.FL0 third-generation handheld ultrasonic flow metering. You can convert flow rate results into pressure with Portasonic® CALCULATOR. Or choose Permaflow® for constant flow rate monitoring.

Fully non-invasive (no drilling required) for measuring the flow rates of most liquids with gas/solid content less than 10% of volume, with 4 – 20 mA outputs and PT100 thermometer integration.

  • Oscilloscope
    Built-in signal oscilloscope for sensor positioning and diagnostics to achieve maximum accuracy with the measurement while providing visibility of the potential issues.

  • Communications
    Connection to PC available as standard using both RS232 and built-in USB as well as 4 – 20 mA inputs which is available as an optional plug in.

  • Total Flow
    All measured values can be totalised giving total flow rate measured during a particular measuring session.

  • Recommended Applications
    Commercial building heat metering, fuel montoring, waste water and many more.

  • Heat Metering
    Ability to incorporate PT100 thermometer inputs so heat quantity measurement can be monitored alongside flow rate

Multi-Purpose: Works on 23 different common pipe materials: ABS, aluminium, asbestos, carbon steel, cast iron, cement, copper, ductile iron, epoxy, fibre glass, glass, GRP, lead, nylon, PE, PP, PTFE, PVC, rubber, stainless 403, stainless 316, steel, Teflon.

  • Intuitive: 
    Calculate quickly and easily using an intuitive touchscreen tablet.

  • Clear Results
    Save data to records and export via USB or email to ensure traceability.

  • Accurate: 
    Accounts for temperature and material roughness to produce results of the highest empirical accuracy.

  • Reporting:
    Save the results from your Portasonic 2.FLO; record and download inspection reports. Filter records by date or by pipe.

  • Reliable: 
    Facilitate determination of the expected wear and tear on the system caused by pressure. Facilitate risk assessment of high pressure systems.

For Portasonic 2.FL0 customers: The perfect product and Award Winning Portasonic to save your flow, acoustic and pressure results for better reporting. Combine calculated pressure with readings from the Portasonic® 2.FL0 to verify measured flow speeds and rates against a fixed pressure gauge in the system.

Applications
Commonly used for fire sprinkler systems, waste water, fuel monitoring, foam proportioner testing.

Multiple Metrics
Measure wall thickness (includes A-scan functionality), volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate, energy (heat quantity) flow rate all from one instrument.

Total Flow 
All measured values can be totalised giving you the total flow rate that has been measured during a particular measurement session.

Intuitive
Unique Human Machine Interface (HMI) driven menu that emphasises intuitiveness and user-friendliness.

  • Versatile
    Capable of working on pipes DN15 – DN 2500, across multiple different pipes/pipe sections. Large internal database of pipe, fluid and lining materials (19+ for fluids, 23+ for pipe and lining materials)

  • Clamp-on
    Clamp-on therefore no installation costs such as drilling into pipes and no downtime to the pipe network is present

  • Reliable
    Measures flow velocities between 0.01 m/s – 25m/s.

  • Diagnostics
    It has a built-in signal oscilloscope for sensor positioning and diagnostics to achieve maximum accuracy with the measurement while providing visibility of the potential issues with the installation for troubleshooting purposes.

  • Non-Contact:
    The fluid cannot damage the flowmeter, which could contribute to a longer lifespan and lower maintenance cost compared to inline flowmeters which are in contact with the fluid and risk being damaged by the pressurised flowing fluid
