NOTES: Next day delivery on the PT900 is available to mainland UK when rental paperwork is received by 12 midday (stock permitting).
The PT900 clamp-on flow meter supersedes the successful PT878, and builds on its usability, powerful processor and ruggedness . It benefits from a long battery life, versatility, quick clamp system and a large internal memory making it the ideal portable flow meter for a wide range of applications.
We stock a wide range of accessories and ancillary equipment to be used with the PT900 to suit your application needs.
Our rental PT900s are supplied with the tablet to make programming even easier.
Whatever your experience with ultrasonic flow meters, we are confident that our quick start guides and technical support engineers should be able to get you up and running in minutes. The new and improved user interface makes it easier than ever to program the meter for your application. The app even has a range of instruction videos should you need any extra guidance. These videos can also be viewed in the FAQs section below.
