Portable Flow Metering at Its Best:The TransPort PT878GC flowmeter is a highly versatile, self-contained, portable transit-time system with options and accessories to meet a variety of gas flow measurement needs. Its compact size, lightweight, rechargeable battery pack, and universal power supply charger make it the ideal go-anywhere flowmeter. Historically, clamp-on flow metering was limited to liquids because existing methods could not work on metal pipes containing gases. GE developed new technology that extends all the benefits of clamp-on flow metering to gas measurement. This remarkable ultrasonic
technology works with gases at high or low pressure in
pipes made of metal and most other materials. The TransPort PT878GC flowmeter can be used to measure the flow of any gas. It is especially useful for metering erosive, corrosive, toxic, high-purity or sterile gases, or in any application where penetrating the pipe wall is undesirable. Since no tapping or cutting of the pipe is required, permanent installation costs are significantly reduced. The meter has no wetted or moving parts, causes no pressure drop and has very wide  rangeability. The new meter was tested extensively on metal pipes with diameters as small as 0.75 inches (20 mm) and as
large as 24 inches (600 mm). This meter is suitable for measuring the flow of air, hydrogen, natural gas and
any other gases.

No Pressure Drop, Low Maintenance:Because the transducers clamp onto the outside of the pipe, they do not obstruct the flow inside the pipe. This prevents the pressure drops typically caused by other types of flowmeters. The TransPort PT878GC has no components that will foul or collect debris, and there are no moving parts to wear out. As a result, it requires no lubrication and little or no routine maintenance.

Advanced Clamp-On Ultrasonic Transducers:One of the biggest challenges in developing clamp-on ultrasonic transducers for gas applications is the difficulty in transmitting a coded ultrasonic signal through a metal pipe wall, through the gas, and then back through the pipe wall to the second transducer that is waiting to receive the signal. In gas systems, only 4.9 x10–7 percent of the transmitted sound energy is actually received by traditional ultrasonic transducers. This simply isn’t enough to produce reliable
measurements. The new line of clamp-on gas transducers produces signals that are five to ten times more powerful than
those of traditional ultrasonic transducers. The new transducers produce clean, coded signals with very minimal background noise. The result is that the TransPort PT878GC flowmeter system performs well even with low-density gas applications.

Quick and Easy to Use:
It’s possible to make the first flow measurement within
minutes of opening the box—the TransPort PT878GC
flowmeter is that easy to use. Input the site parameters,
clamp the transducers onto the pipe, and adjust the
spacing.

An onboard microprocessor uses patented Correlation Transit-Timem technology for long-term, drift-free operation. Automatic adjustment to changing fluid properties and dynamically configured operating software simplify programming.

Transit-Time Flow Measurement:

• In this method, two transducers serve as both ultrasonic signal generators and receivers. They are in acousticcommunication with each other, meaning the second transducer can receive ultrasonic signals transmitted by the first transducer and vice versa. In operation, each transducer functions as a transmitter, generating a specified number of acoustic pulses. and then as a receiver for an identical number of pulses. The time interval between transmission and reception of the ultrasonic signals is measured in both directions. Wherj the liquid in the pipe is not flowing, the transit-time downstream equals the transit-time upstream. When the liquid is flowing, the transit- time downstream is less than the transit-time upstream. The difference between the downstream and upstream transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flowing liquid, and its sign indicates the direction of flow.

Wetted or Clamp-On Transducers:
Ultrasonic flow transducers are classified as either wetted or non-wetted lclamp-on). Clamp-on transducers are clamped
onto the outside of the pipe and never come into contact with the process fluid. Wetted transducers are mounted into
the pipe or flowcell in direct contact with the process fluid. Clomp-on transducers offer maximum convenience,
flexibility and a low installation cost compared to traditional flow metering technologies. With proper installation,
wetted transducers provide maximum accuracy (better than 0.5 percent of reading) in most applications. The DigitalFlow
XMT868i can be used with a variety of wetted solutions including the PanaFlowm system. The PanaFlow meter system
relies on the XMT868i as an integral component to simplify installation. A DigitalFlow XMT868i is easily mounted to
the top of a PanaFlow system and is shipped ready to install.
