The Portaflow PF222 and PF333 instruments are transit time ultrasonic flow meters designed to work with clamp-on transducers. The PF222 is the basic model that measures flow only, whilst the PF333 measures can measure both flow and thermal / heat energy (version dependant) using additional clamp on Pt100 temperature sensors along with software designed to comply with EN 1424 section 6.
The instruments work with a range of different transducer sets depending on the unit and the application. Optional high temperature sensors are also available on the PF333 model. Sensor mounting clamps are provided with each instrument to ensure correct mounting on any sized pipe in either diagonal or reflex modes.

The PF222 and PF333 models are designed with ‘ease of use’ in mind. An interactive QuickStart 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.
The flow sensors, or transducers, connected to the instruments 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.
The maximum permissible pipe outside diameter depends on the type of ultrasonic transducer in use –
- Type ‘A’ transducer : usable with pipes in the range 13 mm to 115 mm
- Type ‘B’ transducer : usable with pipes in the range 50 mm to 1000 mm PF222 model & 50 mm to 2000 mm PF333 model,
- Transducer operating temperature : Standard, -20 to +135 oC and high, 20 to + 200 oC (Note: The high temperature type A and B sized transducers are also available for use on the PF333 model)
