Hardware & Operation

The Portaflow electronics are housed in a specficially designed enclosure, which incorporates the graphic display, keypad, sensor and output facility connections. Set-up of the unit is carried out by selecting the options displayed in the main menu and by following the simple instructions in any of the user selectable languages.

The use of a rechargeable battery allows the unit to be operated for a period in excess of 14 hours depending on the facilities used. Continuous operation via the PSU is also possible while recharging the battery. Battery status, signal strength, time and date, as well as flow and energy information are all continuously displayed, keeping the user fully aware of the measurement process.

Hydronic Liquid Flow Energy Measurement

The PF333 is a portable, simple to use ultrasonic clamp-on flow and thermal, heat/energy meter, that uses ultrasound to measure flow rate and clamp-on PT100 temperature sensors to measure flow and return temperatures. The PF333 measures energy rate and totalised energy. And the Heat/Energy calculation is designed to comply with EN1434 section 6.

Flow Transducers

The Portaflow range is able to work with different transducer sets depending on the unit purchased and the application. Optional high temperature sensors are also available on the PF333. Sensor mounting clamps are provided with each instrument, to ensure correct mounting and reliable operation on any size pipe, in either diagonal or reflex modes.
