Portasonic® Pro
Benefits of Non‑Invasive Ultrasonic Flow & Pressure Monitoring
Choosing clamp‑on ultrasonic transit‑time technology offers significant advantages over traditional inline flow meters:
Zero downtime and no pipe modifications: Installation does not require cutting, drilling, or interrupting the system.
No contact with the fluid: Eliminates contamination risk, pressure drops, and wear on internal components—resulting in lower maintenance costs and improved long‑term reliability.
Critical for safety: Understanding internal pipe pressure helps prevent failures, equipment damage, and potential hazards to surrounding personnel and infrastructure.
Core Features of the Portasonic® PRO
Integrated Portasonic® CALCULATOR: Enables real‑time pressure calculations directly on the device without the need for separate software.
Advanced data logging: Capable of storing millions of flow and pressure measurements for analysis and traceability.
Heat‑flow calculations: Users can calculate thermal energy transfer by entering inlet and outlet temperatures.
Totaliser function: Tracks cumulative flow over time for long‑term monitoring and auditing.
Extensive material database: Includes more than 15 pipe materials and fluid options for broad compatibility.
Wide pipe size range: Supports pipe diameters up to 750 mm.
Enhanced user interface: A fully redesigned interface provides streamlined navigation and improved ease of use.
Handheld, Tablet‑Based Ultrasonic Clamp‑On Flow Meter with Pressure Calculation Software
The Portasonic® PRO is a portable, tablet‑operated ultrasonic flow meter designed for clamp‑on measurement and equipped with advanced software that estimates internal pipe pressure based solely on recorded flow data. By combining non‑intrusive flow monitoring with predictive pressure analysis, it brings together the capabilities of the Portasonic® flow meter and the Portasonic® Calculator. The result is the first device able to estimate internal pipe pressure using only external, non‑contact ultrasonic sensors.

Overview
Ultrasonic Clamp‑On Flow Meter with Integrated Pressure Calculation
The Portasonic® PRO unifies the functionality of a clamp‑on ultrasonic flow meter with built‑in software capable of estimating internal pipe pressure from external flow measurements. It merges the flow‑measurement capabilities of the Portasonic® with the predictive pressure tools of the Portasonic® CALCULATOR, creating a single instrument that can perform both tasks seamlessly.
Key Measurement Capabilities
High‑accuracy flow readings: Non‑invasive ultrasonic technology delivers liquid flow measurements with industry‑leading precision of around 0.5%.
Independently verified performance: Flow accuracy is tested and validated by an ISO 17025‑accredited laboratory for assurance of measurement quality.
Pressure estimation: When enabled, the device simultaneously displays both flow rate and the calculated internal pipe pressure.
Advanced calculation models: Pressure values are determined using empirical equations rooted in fluid dynamics, achieving approximately 5% estimation accuracy.
Material & fluid database: The system incorporates knowledge of more than 19 fluid types and over 23 pipe materials to ensure reliable pressure predictions across a broad range of applications.
