Portaflow
PF330/PF220
The new portable
range of clamp-on flow
meters from Micronics,
for simple, accurate
flow measurement
from outside the pipe!
The Portaflow range brings simplicity to the non-invasive
measurement of liquid flow. Portaflow offers the user quick and
accurate flow measurement with its easy to follow menu and simple
set up. Results can be achieved within minutes of opening the case!
Compact, rugged and reliable, the Portaflow range has been designed
to provide sustained performance in industrial environments.

PF220 – Portable Ultrasonic Liquid Flow Meter
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Portaflow 330/220 is a transit time
ultrasonic flow meter designed to work
with clamp-on transducers, to provide
accurate measurement of liquid flowing
within a closed pipe, without the need
for any mechanical parts to be inserted
through the pipe wall or to protrude
into the flow system. It takes just a few
minutes to install and there is no need to
shut down flow or drain the system!

accelerated slightly by the velocity of the
liquid through the pipe. When ultrasound is
transmitted in the opposite direction, the
flow of the liquid causes the transmitted
sound to decelerate. The subsequent time
difference is directly proportional to the
flow velocity in the pipe. Having measured
the flow velocity and knowing the pipe
cross-sectional area, the volumetric flow
can be easily calculated.

Hardware & Operation
The Portaflow electronics are housed in a specifically designed enclosure, which incorporates the graphic display, keypad, sensor and output
facility connections. Programming 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 rechargeable batteries allows the unit to be operated for a period in excess of 20 hours depending on the facilities used.
Continuous operation via the PSU is also possible while recharging the battery pack. Battery status, signal strength, time and date, as well
as flow information are all continuously displayed, keeping the user fully aware of the measurement process.
Flow Transducers
The Portaflow range is able to work with different transducer sets depending on the unit purchased and the application. Sensor mounting
clamps are provided with each instrument, to ensure correct mounting and reliable operation on any size pipe, in either diagonal or
reflex mode.
Data Logger (PF330 only)
The built in data logger in the PF330 allows site details and flow data to be recorded with a memory, that is able to log 200,000 separate
readings. Data can be stored in 5 second to 1 hour intervals. The data for each site is stored in the memory until it has been cleared. The
stored data can be displayed on the instrument in text or graph format. The instrument is also capable of downloading the stored data via
the USB or RS232 output port and the Portagraph Software supplied with the unit.
