PT878 Specifications

Operation and Performance

Fluid Types

Acoustically conductive fluids, including most clean

liquids, and many liquids with entrained solids or gas

bubbles. Maximum void fraction depends on transducer,

interrogation carrier frequency, path length and pipe

configuration.

Pipe Sizes

0.5 in to 300 in (12.7 mm to 7.6 m) and larger

Pipe Wall Thickness

Up to 3 in (76.2 mm)

Pipe Materials

All metals and most plastics. Consult GE for

concrete, composite materials, and highly

corroded or lined pipes.

Clamp-On Flow Accuracy (Velocity)

• Pipe ID>6 in (150 mm): ±1% to 2% of reading typical

• Pipe ID<6 in (150 mm): ±2% to 5% of reading typical

Accuracy depends on pipe size and whether measurement
is one-path or two-path. Accuracy to ±0.5% of reading may
be achievable with process calibration.

Repeatability

±0.1% to 0.3% of reading

Range (Bidirectional)

–40 to 40 ft/s (–12.2 to 12.2 m/s)

Rangeability (Overall)

400:1

Specifications assume a fully developed flow profile
(typically 10 diameters upstream and 5 diameters
downstream of straight pipe run) and flow velocity greater
than 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s).

Measurement Parameters

Volumetric flow, totalized flow and flow velocity

Electronics

Flow Measurement

Patented Correlation Transit-Time mode

Enclosure

Submersible IP67

Dimensions

Weight 3 lb (1.36 kg),

Size (h x w x d) 9.4 in x 5.5 in x 1.5 in

(238 mm x 138 mm x 38 mm)

Display

240 x 200 pixel backlit LCD graphic display

Keypad

25-key rubberized tactile membrane keypad

Internal Battery

Rechargeable battery: 9 to 11 hr of continuous

operation

Battery Charger Input

100 to 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.38 A

Memory

FLASH memory, field-upgradable

Operating Temperature

–4°F to 131°F (–20°C to 55°C)

Storage Temperature

–40°F to 158°F (–40°C to 70°C)

To ensure maximum battery life, storage
temperature exceeding 35°C (95°F) is not
recommended for more than one month.

Standard Inputs/Outputs

• One 0/4 to 20 mA current output, 550 W

maximum load

• One user-selectable pulse (solid state, 5 V

maximum) or frequency (5 V square wave, 100 to

10,000 Hz)

• Two 4 to 20 mA analog inputs with switchable

power supply for loop-powered temperature
