Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Hiring a Doppler Flow Meter, specifically the Greyline PDFM 5.1 portable model, offers an excellent solution for diagnosing flow issues, balancing systems, and verifying the performance of permanent flow meters.

Evaluating the performance of in-line flow meters is ideally done using tools that can be installed, calibrated, and operational within minutes. The Greyline PDFM 5.1 Portable Doppler Flow Meter Hire is specifically designed for sludge, slurries, and dirty liquids, requiring the presence of dirt or gas particles to measure effectively.

The non-contact sensor quickly attaches to the outside of a pipe while the built-in keypad and calibration menu let you set up the instrument in minutes. Use the PDFM 5.1 for projects where a permanent flowmeter is not required or to temporarily replace installed flow transmitters.

The PDFM 5.1 non-intrusive Doppler ultrasonic sensor is compatible with pipes ranging from 1/2″ to 180″ in diameter. It operates by reflecting an acoustic pulse off particles or gases in the liquid flow. This sensor can measure the flow rate of any fluid that contains air bubbles or solids, making it suitable for wastewater, slurries, sludge, and a variety of chemicals, acids, caustics, and lubrication fluids. It functions effectively with most types of metal and plastic pipes, such as PVC, ductile iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel.

The Doppler flow meter is AC/DC powered and comes with built-in NiMH batteries and an external charger. It features a 4-20mA output, allowing the PDFM 5.1 to serve as a backup transmitter in critical applications. Utilize the integrated 300,000-point data logger for flow studies and troubleshooting. Data logs are accessible via the data logging software, and you can download the data logger files by connecting the USB output to your PC or laptop.
