(AW-Lake: Oak Creek, WI) -- AW-Lake offers a new portable transit time ultrasonic flow meter in addition to the full-size, clamp-on version that provides noncontacting flow measurement for the most challenging industrial environments with minimal installation complexity and costs.  The new portable ultrasonic meter can be easily deployed to measure flow on demand without difficult installations or process interruptions.

The hand-held unit is encased in a rugged IP67 housing and works with the same three interchangeable transducers as the full-sized meter, which makes it suitable for measurements on a wide range of metal and plastic pipe materials from .5-in. to 48-in. diameter. A simple menu enables fast and easy programming of pipe diameter, pipe material, liquid types, and measurement units. In addition to providing a standard 4–20mA/0-5V analog output, optional Modbus RTU and HART communications provide instantaneous flow rate, volume, total, run hours, and diagnostic information.
