Flow Meter PCE-TDS 200 M

Portable ultrasonic flow meter (time-of-flight method) designed for measurement control, commissioning, and rapid flow detection without the need to open the pipe. It is a portable system with simple installation, external sensors, and real-time data recording.

Main features:

• Measurement principle: ultrasonic time-of-flight (non-intrusive, external mounting with flanges/velcro).
• Measurement range: -32 … +32 m/s.
• Resolution: 0.0001 m/s.
• Accuracy:
  • DN ≥ 50 mm: ±1.5% of the measured value for > 0.3 m/s.
  • DN < 50 mm: ±3.5% of the measured value for > 0.3 m/s.
• Reproducibility: ±0.5% of the measurement value.
• Fluid temperature: -30 … 160 °C.
• Supports liquids with impurities < 5%.

Compatible fluids (preconfigured or manual adjustment): water, seawater, oils, crude oil, diesel, ethanol, gasoline, methanol, oil, and custom options via sound speed adjustment.

Compatibility with pipe materials and linings:

• External materials: copper, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, nickel, titanium, zinc, acrylic, polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, nylon. Manual adjustment possible for other materials.
• Internal linings: uncoated, epoxy resin, rubber, mortar, polystyrene, PE, PTFE, PU, PP, or custom settings.

Parameters and units:

• Measured parameters: velocity, flow rate, volume.
• Velocity units: m/s, ft/s.
• Flow rate/volume units: m³, l, gal, etc. (metric and imperial).
