Today we're highlighting a product that can be quite handy when you want to check flow on a pipe in a temporary application. The Micronics PF220A/BF220B Portable Ultrasonic Clamp On flow meter utlizes advanced DSP technology and is the latest portable flow measurement and recording system to be added to the Micronics range of equipment. The PF220 portable ultrasonic clamp on flow meter can display instantaneous fluid flow rates or velocity, together with totalized values.
Potential applications include checking flow for to gain information about a system and checking accuracy of other meters. Think of the times when you'd like to know what the flow is in a closed pipe, but don't have a mag meter on the line and don't really need one there long term. That's the spot for a Micronics PF220.

A variable current or pulse output, proportional to the detected flow rate, is also produced by the PF220 portable ultrasonic clamp on flow meter to enable it to interface with a range of external control devices such as those found in building management or site monitoring systems. The PF220 portable ultrasonic clamp on flow meter is very much designed with ‘ease of use’ in mind. An interactive Quick Start menu, which simplifies system installation at any suitable location, together with minimal set-up requirements, means that the system can be installed and brought into service very quickly. Furthermore, the application parameters for a particular site can be saved to nonvolatile memory and instantly recalled if a site is revisited for monitoring at a later time – further reducing the set-up time.
The flow sensors, or transducers, connected to the PF220 portable ultrasonic clamp on flow meter are attached to the outside of the pipe being monitored and provide totally non-invasive flow measurement without disturbing the existing plant equipment or process operation.
Here's the quick and dirty criteria we're working with when selecting a PF220 meter:
- Full Pipe
- Clear Fluid
- Portable
- No Data Logging
- Pulse and mA Outputs
- PF220A: .5″ – 4.5″
- PF220B: 2″ – 40
