years experience in ultrasonic
flow measurement, Panametrics
has what you need for virtually
any flow measurement appli-
cation. The TransPort flowmeter
can be used with all Panametrics
ultrasonic liquid flow transducers,
clamping fixtures and flowcells.
A wide variety of clamp-
on and wetted transducers are
available with different operat-
ing frequencies, materials of
construction, operating temper-
atures, sizes, area classifications
(standard or hazardous), and
operating principles (e.g., shear
wave and longitudinal wave) to
meet your requirements.
To hold clamp-on trans-
ducers in contact with the pipe,
a variety of clamping fixtures are
available to accommodate
different pipe and transducer
sizes, and the desired fixture
attachment method (e.g.,
chain; metal strap; VELCRO
®
straps; and magnetic, bolt-on,
or weldable steel yoke with
metal banding). Our universal
clamping fixture includes ruled
slide-tracks to simplify transducer
spacing for accurate flow meas-
urements. There’s even a special
small-pipe clamping fixture with
miniaturized transducers to
simplify the flow measurements
on
1 / 2
- to 2-inch lines.
The TransPort PT868 flow-
meter can also be used with
flowcells or spool-pieces—
precision-machined pipe sec-
tions with wetted transducers
already in place—for improved
accuracy or special situations
such as flow measurement in
very small tubing (e.g.,
1 / 8
inch).
For wetted transducer accuracy
with portability, Pan-Adapta
®
precision-machined pipe plugs
can be threaded into pipe
couplings or tees, letting you
install and remove wetted trans-
ducers without interrupting the
process or emptying the pipe.
Please contact Panametrics
for assistance in choosing the
best transducers, fixtures, or
flowcells for your application.

The TransPort flowmeter com-
bines proven ultrasonic flow
measurement with precise RTD
temperature measurement to
determine the energy flow rate
in liquid heating and cooling
systems. The TransPort flowmeter,
with optional energy equipment,
extends the benefits of ultrasonic
flow measurement to energy
measurement. These benefits
include measurement of flow

and temperature without pipe
penetration for pipes from
1 / 2
to
200 inches in diameter with
liquid temperatures from –20°C
to 260°C. The TransPort flow-
meter is designed for energy
measurement in water and
water/glycol systems. Consult
Panametrics for use with other
liquid systems.
Every TransPort flowmeter
comes equipped with a built-in
16-V supply for loop-powered
RTD temperature sensors, as well
as all necessary circuitry and
software to make energy flow
rate measurements. To com-
plete the system, Panametrics
offers a variety of optional com-
ponents. These include clamp-
on and wetted RTD temperature
sensors and a dual RTD trans-
mitter that directs loop power
from the TransPort flowmeter to
the RTDs. This transmitter accepts
raw RTD inputs and provides
4- to 20-mA temperature inputs
back to the TransPort flowmeter.
These components can be
purchased separately, or as
part of a turnkey solution.

ness is a critical parameter
used by the TransPort flowmeter
for clamp-on flow measure-
ments. The more accurately the
pipe-wall thickness is known, the
more accurate the flow meas-
urements can be. Panametrics
offers a thickness gage option
that allows accurate wall thick-
ness measurement from outside
the pipe. The thickness gage
option includes an ultrasonic
thickness transducer, transducer
cable, metric or nonmetric
calibration block, and a bottle
of transducer couplant.
