Micronics PF333 Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter

The Micronics PF333 Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter can display instantaneous fluid flow rates or velocity, together with totalised values. It also incorporates a data logger that can record datapoints which can be output directly to a PC or printer or stored in the instrument’s memory for downloading at a later time.  As a development upon the previous, PF330, model, Micronics PF333 now also includes a portable heat meter.  This allows the user to monitor boiler plant efficiency.

A variable current or pulse output, proportional to the detected flow rate, is also produced by the PF333 to enable it to interface with a range of external control devices such as those found in building management or site monitoring systems.

Micronics PF333 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 non-volatile 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 PF333 instrument 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.
