TransPort PT900 Makes Your Job So Much Easier
The PT900 has undergone the most involved voice of the user effort to date for GE’s 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 approach 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.
Operation and Performance
Fluid Types
Liquids: acoustically conductive fluids, including most clean liquids and many liquids with small amounts of entrained solids or gas bubbles
Flow Measurement
Patented Correlation Transit-Time mode
Pipe Sizes
Standard: 0.5 to 24 in. (15 to 600 mm)
Optional: up to 300 in. (7500 mm) available upon request
Pipe Wall Thickness
Up to 3 in. (76.2 mm)
Pipe Material
All metals and most plastics
Accuracy
- +/-1% of reading (2in/50mm or greater pipe sizes)
- +/-2% of reading (0.5in/15mm to <2in/50mm 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.
Repeatability
+/-0.2% of reading
