AquaTrans AT600 Panametrics Clamp-on Ultrasonic Liquid Flow Meter Imagination at work. Version 3 (12/1/14)
I need a meter that is reliable and user friendly. 2
Introducing the AquaTrans AT600. Simplicity meets reliability. The new clamp-on ultrasonic meter designed to measure liquid flow in industrial environments
A totally new clamp-on system THE AT600 INCLUDES AT600 electronics 1 1 Transducer cables 2 2 3 Transducers/fixture AT6 XDR with fixture (2 MHz) C-RS XDR with CF-ES fixture (0.5 MHz) 3 AT600 Installation 4
Clamp-on transit time. Up c P L Velocity Variables used in transit time Dn V = Fluid Velocity c T up T d n P = Fluid soundspeed = Transit time up = Transit time down = Acoustic path length V = P 2L 2 t t up dn - t t dn up L = Axial projected path length 5 = Path Angle
Advantages of an ultrasonic meter No drifting, no periodic calibration required No pressure drop No restriction in the pipe No filters or strainers No loss of process control, optimization of assets and efficiency, no downtime or expense from calibration No wasted energy from running a pump or purchase of a larger size pump Contamination will not affect meter s measurement (drifting) or any damage to meter No maintenance cost Bi-directional measurement No moving parts Flow measurement independent of temperature, pressure, viscosity and conductivity No additional meters required No loss of process control, optimization of assets and efficiency, no downtime or expense from calibration No impact to accuracy, which affects process control
Advantages of a clamp-on meter Install on new or existing pipes Save time and money not cutting into pipe, install in difficult locations, install anytime Install on outside of pipe No welding, no extra parts Save time and money not cutting into pipe, no process shutdown, no process contamination Save time and money No leakage No contamination No required maintenance Low cost of ownership

Specifications Item Fluids Measurement Channels/paths Pipe sizes Pipe materials Details Liquids Transit time One 2 to 24 in (50 to 600 mm) standard (Other sizes available upon request.) All metals and most plastics Accuracy Calibration +/- 1% of reading +/- 0.5% in field calibration Final installation assumes a fully developed flow profile (typically 10 diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream of straight pipe run) and single phase fluids. Applications with piping arrangements that induce swirl (e.g., two out-ofplane elbows) may require additional straight run or flow conditioning. Standard with each meter Repeatability +/- 0.2% Range Certification -40 to 40 ft/s (-12.2 to 12.2 m/s) CE, UL, CSA Mcert (in process) 13
