Introducing the TransPort
The TransPort PT900 is the latest generation of portable clamp-on fl ow meters from
GE’s 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 user-friendly capability based on today’s technology.
TransPort PT900 Advantages
• A wide selection of transducers suitable for most
applications
• Wireless tablet for Bluetooth
with the transmitter
• Easy programming with bright touch screen and
multiple-language user interface
• Fast-responding, high-accuracy transmitter with
green/red light health indication and 8 GB of
datalogging storage
• Velocity, volume, mass, totalizer and energy
fl ow rate measurements
• Easy-to-install clamping fi xture

communication
TransPort PT900 Applications
• Suitable for most pipe sizes and materials, both
lined and unlined
• Suitable for virtually every industry that requires
temporary or spot fl ow rate measurement
• Suitable for many fl uids, including potable water,
wastewater, cooling and heating water, ultrapure
water and other liquids such as
water/glycol solutions, crude oil, refi ned
hydrocarbons, chemicals and beverages
TransPort PT900 Makes
Your Job So Much Easier
The PT900 has undergone the most involved voice of
the user eff ort to date for GE’s fl ow products. Several
years of learning about how people use portable fl ow
meters and what they want and need while making
fl ow rate measurements have infl uenced the PT900’s
design. GE validated this learning and modifi ed the
design approach by sharing initial concepts and early
prototypes with users. The result? The best portable fl ow
meter needs to be versatile, easy to install, intuitive to
use and capable of making reliable measurements even
in the most diffi cult 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 fl ow
transmitter, clamping fi xture and user interface. Key
improvements include a redesigned fi xture 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
confi dence. All users, regardless of experience level with
the meter, will be able to:
• Install the clamping fi xture with minimal confusion or
repositioning
• Connect the transmitter and transducer cables
correctly
• Turn on the tablet and pair it via Bluetooth® with the
transmitter
• Start taking measurements within minutes

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 fl ow
profi le (typically 10 pipe diameters upstream and
5 pipe diameters downstream of straight pipe run). Final
installation accuracy is a function of multiple factors
including fl uid, temperature range, pipe centricity among
other factors.
