Portable Flow Meter for Dirty or Aerated Liquids. Troubleshoot Flow from Outside a Pipe

The PF D550 Portable Doppler Flow Meter can monitor and balance flow or troubleshoot flow problems in full pipes. It is ideal to evaluate the performance of in-line flow meters and can be installed, calibrated and started up in minutes. Use it for projects where a permanent flowmeter is not required or to replace installed flow transmitters temporarily.

The PF D550 ultrasonic sensor is clamped on the outside of a pipe. An acoustic pulse is reflected back to the sensor from particles or gases in the flowing liquid. The flow rate of any fluid can be measured as long as it contains air bubbles or solids.

It is ideal for wastewater, slurries, sludge and most chemicals, acids, caustics and lubrication fluids. With its internal battery, the PF D550 can be operated all day and then recharged overnight. It can be powered by a supplied 110-240VAC wall plug adapter for continuous use.
