Overview

The InnovaSonic® 210 portable ultrasonic flow meter succeeds at delivering expanded functionality and field portability when a permanent installation is not required. The 210 is a complete liquid measurement kit with portable clamp-on transducers featuring a small handheld display interface with bright color display and push buttons. While principally designed for clean liquids, the 210 portable meter will operate effectively with the minimal quantity of air bubbles or suspended solids found in most industrial applications. Its high-powered ultrasonic pulse with improved digital signal processing requires just one set of transducers for a wide range of pipe sizes and materials including metal, plastic and concrete.

The handheld battery powered 210 is ideal for precisely measuring a wide range of liquid flows in pipes up to 236 inches (6000 mm).

Utilizing universal transit-time technology the 210 portable flow meter, hand-held flow meter measures the time it takes an ultrasonic signal to travel a known distance with the flow stream and another signal travelling against the flow stream, determining the velocity of the fluid being measured. The 210 measurement is independent of fluid conductivity to allow a wider applicability compared to magnetic meters.

Common Applications:

Cooling and heating fluid measurements
Water and wastewater measurements
Leak detection in piping systems
Monitoring and controlling of HVAC systems
Fuel and oil consumption measurements

Checking other flow meters
Flow and usage audits
Interface detection
Offshore applications
Automated process control

Performance

While principally designed for clean liquids, the 210 portable meter will operate effectively with the minimal quantity of air bubbles or suspended solids found in most industrial applications. Its high-powered ultrasonic pulse with improved digital signal processing requires just one set of transducers for a wide range of pipe sizes and materials including metal, plastic and concrete.

The 210:

Uses universal transit-time digital signal processing to offer excellent accuracy and repeatability for a wide variety of liquids
Determines the velocity of the fluid by measuring the time it takes an ultrasonic signal to travel a known distance with the flow stream, and another signal travelling against the flow stream
Features measurement that is independent of fluid conductivity to allow a wider applicability compared to magnetic meters

In addition, a programmable frequency output and VAC power emulates turbine/propeller meters for easy replacement or decommissioning of older technology flow devices.
