Portasonic® PLUS
Handheld Ultrasonic Flow Meter With Datalogging Functionality
Portasonic® PLUS is a portable ultrasonic transit-time flow meter that measures, internally records, and exports the flow rate within a pipe with precision and ease.
Portasonic® PLUS is a highly versatile monitoring solution that uses a pre-programmed database to work with various pipe materials and liquid types and can be customized for specific applications.
Precision Flow Rate Measurement
Portasonic® PLUS provides measurements to within ±0.5% of the true flow rate. Several features enhance this precision:
- Customisable, pre-programmed database – With 19+ fluid types and 23+ pipe materials.
- Integrated ultrasonic thickness gauge – To monitor pipe wall thickness and ensure it meets operational safety requirements.
- Built-in signal oscilloscope – To provide sensor diagnostics and verify measurement process.
- Three measurement methods – To allow for the most appropriate application on different pipe sizes. See brochure for details.
- Two sensor options – To fit different pipe diameters, with waterproofed variants also available.
System Integration with Datalogging and Export
Portasonic® PLUS comes with 4MB of internal storage, which enables the device to record and save measurements. These measurements can be easily exported or logged onto a PC in real-time via micro USB.
Datalogging provides a verifiable record of system functionality and safety, and recording the flow rate with a frequency of 1Hz as standard allows for consistent recording and analysis of the flow rate.
The clamp-on Portasonic® PLUS sensors can be non-invasively applied to almost any pipe as a continuous monitoring solution but can be easily transferred to a different location if monitoring requirements change. This non-invasive application, therefore, gives Portasonic® PLUS dual functionality as a permanent and portable monitoring solution, depending on your needs.

3 Flow Rate Metrics Portasonic® PLUS can portray flow rate in one of three ways to optimise data utility:
- Volumetric Flow Rate: In litres per minute or gallons per minute, the volume of liquid transferred within a pipe. The standard measurement for most industrial applications.
- Mass Flow Rate: In kilograms per minute or lbs per minute, the mass of liquid transferred within a pipe, calculated by the device using density and flow rate, commonly used in loading or unloading processes, eg. fuel transfers.
- Heat/Energy Flow Rate: In kilowatts per hour or British Thermal Units (BTU) per second, the amount of thermal energy transferred by a pipe’s contents, is commonly used for measurement in heating or coolant pipes.
