Portable Ultrasonic Flow Meter

[Budro]

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for a portable ultrasonic flow meter to measure mine water (5-10% fine solids) in a 6" PVC pipe. I've looked at Dynasonics and EESIFLO products. Does anyone have good/bad experience with them or other vendor suggestions?

Also, want should be the main features to look for in purchasing an portable ultrasonic flow meter?

Thanks,

Budro

and Katronics (

for two.
Some day soon we may even have clamp on coriolis!

Have good experience with this stuff.
Mount on vertical pipe with up-wards flow (like most flowmeters).

Good luck,

For ease of setup, interpretation and data management you should consider this unit from FUJI.

Try Panametrics. This has worked well for me over the years. The only problem ever has been that we have had to order a replacement rechargable battery after a few years.
