PanaFlow LZ System - Ultrasonic Inline Flow Meter

  • Bi-Directional Measurements No need to install additional meters
  • No Drifting and No Periodic Calibration Required No loss of process control, optimization of assets and efficiency, no downtime or expense from calibration
  • No Pressure Drop No wasted energy from running a pump or purchase of a larger size pump
  • Field Replaceable Transducers No risk in measurement, no shutdown costs for transducer maintenance
  • Explosion-Proof Transducer Design More power to transducer at higher voltages, less risk of attenuation in fluid
Product Options

Overview

The PanaFlow LZ is offered as a one- or two-path wetted, ultrasonic flow meter that brings all of the advantages of ultrasonic technology at an affordable price.

Unlike other flow measurement technologies, the PanaFlow LZ requires no maintenance as it does not have any obstruction in the flow path that could clog the line nor does it have any moving parts that could be damaged by the flowing fluid. PanaFlow LZ measurements are not affected by changing process conditions, such as temperature, pressure and conductivity variations. In addition, because the measurements do not drift over time, no periodic calibration is required. Thus, the PanaFlow LZ is a very attractive flow meter, providing a lower overall total cost of ownership along with the superb reliability and performance expected from a Panametrics ultrasonic flow meter.

Several electronics packages can be paired with the PanaFlow meter system to provide local or remote electronics. For local electronics, the XMT1000 transmitter is used. Other electronics platforms are available for remote locations. With both electronics configurations, the system is preprogramed with setup information for your application making it is quick and easy to install.

Paths

1 Path: 2 in. to 24 in. (50 mm to 600 mm) pipe
2 Path: 3 in. to 24 in. (80 mm to 600 mm) pipe

Pipe sizes 2 in. to 24 in. (50 mm to 600 mm)
Pipe material

Carbon steel

Stainless steel (316/316L)

Accuracy

±0.5% of reading for velocity above 2 ft/s (0.6 m/s) up to 40 ft/s (12.2 m/s) with a resolution of ± 2 mm/s

Accuracy statement assumes measurement of a single phase homogenous liquid with a fully developed symmetrical flow profile passing through the meter. Applications with piping arrangements that create an asymmetrical flow profile may require extended piping straight runs and/or flow conditioning for the meter to perform to this specification.

Repeatability ±0.3% of reading typical
Range (bidirectional) ±0.1 to 40 ft/s (0.03 to 12.19 m/s)
Measurement parameters Dependent upon meter electronics used. Please refer to individual flow meter electronics product data sheet.
