Overview

The PanaFlow Z3 is a three-path, wetted ultrasonic flow meter that brings together all of the advantages of ultrasonic technology at a very affordable value. Unlike other flow measurement technologies, the PanaFlow Z3 does not require maintenance since it does not have any obstruction in the flow path that could clog the process line or moving parts to be damaged by the flowing fluid.

Also, due to the inherent nature of ultrasonic flow measurement, the PanaFlow Z3’s measurement is not affected by changing process conditions (temperature, pressure, and conductivity) and does not drift over time, which eliminates the requirement for periodic calibration. Without requirements for maintenance and calibration, the PanaFlow Z3 offers high performance with a low cost of ownership.

Specification

Operation and performance
Fluid types	Liquids: acoustically conductive fluids, including most clean liquids, and many liquids with small amounts of entrained solids or gas bubbles.
Flow measurement	Correlation transit time model
Accuracy	3 to 24 in (80 to 600 mm) ±0.25% of reading for velocities above 1.6 ft/s (0.5 m/s) ±1.25 mm/s for velocities below 1.6 ft/s (0.5 m/s) 2 in (50 mm) ±0.5% of reading for velocities above 1.6 ft/s (0.5 m/s) ±2.5 mm/s for velocities below 1.6 ft/s (0.5 m/s) Accuracy statement assumes measurement of a single phase homogenous liquid with a fully developed symmetrical flow profile passing through the meter (typically 10 diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream of straight pipe run). 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.
Calibration	All meters are water calibrated at ambient conditions and include a calibration certificate. 3 points as found 2, 5, and 10 ft/s (0.6, 1.5 and 3 m/s) and 2 points as left 3 and 7 ft/s (0.9 and 2.1 m/s)
Repeatability	±0.15% of reading 3 to 24 in (80 to 600 mm) ±0.2% of reading 2 in (50 mm)
Range (bidirectional)	-82 to 82 ft/s (-25 to 25 m/s)
Meter body/transducer system
Meter body materials	Low temperature carbon steel: ASTM SA352 Gr. LCC Stainless steel: ASTM SA351 Gr. CF8M Duplex stainless steel: ASTM SA995 GR. CD3MWCuN
Transducer system and material	LX transducers with inserts 316 SS or A479 UNS S32760 (Duplex) Wetted components Seals FKM or EPDM
Process fluid temperature range	Local mount: -40°F to 302°F (-40°C to 150°C) Remote mount: -40°F to 302°F (-40°C to 150°C) Maximum process temperature is 203°F (95°C) when additional analog input/output options are selected
