Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter
for Troubleshooting, Calibration Checks
and Balancing Flow
Measures Flow Outsidefrom the of a Pipe
The PTFM 1.0 Portable Transit Time Flow Meter works by measuring the “transit time” or
“time of flight” for ultrasonic sound pulses transmitted from one transducer to another.
transit time in the direction of flow is faster than the transit time against the flow. By comparing these differences with precision timing circuits, the PTFM 1.0 is able to accurately calculate the flow rate
Choice of V, Z or W mounting method depends on the application and pipe diameter. V­Mount is the most common method while Z-Mount is used for larger pipes or weak signal applications and W-Mount for smaller pipes.

Mount the ltrasonic transducers on the outside of metal oru plastic pipes including carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, cast iron, ,PVC, PVDF, fiberglass, copper, brass aluminum and pipes with bonded liners including epoxy, rubber and Teflon. Avoid pipes made with porous materials (e.g. wood or concrete) or with loose insertion liners.
Measures in Full PipesClean Liquids
The PTFM 1.0 Portable Transit Time Flow Meter is designed clean, non-aeratedto measure liquids .like water, chemicals and oils with less than 2% solids or bubbles The ultrasonic transducers can be mounted on vertical or horizontal pipes.
Simple Menu System for Start-up and CalibrationEasy
Calibration and start-up can be done in a few minutes. Use the built-in 5-button keypad to enter the pipe material and OD, wall thickness and fluid type. The PTFM 1.0 will display the correct transducer separation distance. Secure the stainless steel pipe clamps and align the mounting brackets on the outside of the pipe. Put coupling compound ( ) on theincluded transducer faces insert them into the mounting brackets The PTFM 1.0 will immediatelyand . begin to display, transmit and totalize flow.

The PTFM 1.0 Portable Transit Time Flowmeter is ideal to measure flow rate of clean, non-aerated fluids in full pipes. Works best on fluids that have less than 2% particulate or gas bubbles.
Easy to Install
The PTFM 1.0 Portable Transit Time Flow Meter tois designed measure in fullclean liquids pipes It. works by injecting sound through the pipe wall and into the flowing liquid.
The battery-powered flow meter, transducers, mounting clamps and accessories are supplied with a rugged watertight carrying case. Use it for troubleshooting, flow studies and for testing calibration of inline flow meters.
The PTFM 1.0 works on metal and plastic pipes and measures forward or reverse flow. A built-in data logger and Windows software is included.
Easy to Calibrate
Use the 5-button keypad and menu system to set up the flowmeter by entering the pipe material, diameter and wall thickness. The PTFM 1.0 calculates the transducer separation distance and mounting method automatically.
