Series TFXP Portable Transit Time Flow Meters
feature the world’s most advanced non-invasive
flow measurement technology – providing a
measuring system with unsurpassed accuracy,
versatility, ease of installation and dependability.
Although designed primarily for cleaner liquids,
the flow meter can reliably measure liquids
containing moderate amounts of suspended
solids or aeration. TFXP is designed for long- or
short-term flow measurement surveys on full-pipe
liquid systems and is ideal for verifying calibration
of permanently mounted flow meters of all
types.
The flow meter features a tactile keypad, 24-hour
battery (rechargeable), removable 200,000-event
data logger (optional) and a 128 x 64 pixel,
back-lit graphics display – all integrated into a
rugged, watertight enclosure. TFXP systems
utilize Dynasonics’ proprietary dual time-base
time expansion algorithm, advanced DSP and
digital cross-correlation. TFXP also provides an
optical interface that allows operation of the
Windows® ULTRALINK™ software utility. The
software utility allows simple in-field
programming, calibration and software upgrades.
The cost-effective and versatile TFXP flow meter
comes complete with all accessories necessary
for measuring piping systems 2" [50 mm]
and higher. |
