GM868 Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter

The Panametrics GM868 is a multi purpose gas flow meter. The GM868 flow meter is suitable for measuring the flow of most gases including fuel gases, waste gases, stack gases and others. It is a complete ultrasonic flow metering system. The GM868 uses transit time technology to determine flow rates. It can do the job of several conventional meters, due to its wide range of measurement velocities and pipe sizes. The GM868 can measure the flow in pipes ranging from 1 inch to 120 inches in diameter (2.5cm to 3m) and also velocities ranging from 0.1 to 150ft/s. These velocities can be measured in either direction and in steady or pulsating flow.

A two channel gas flow meter can also be chosen to provide maximum accuracy by measuring along two paths in the same channel. The dual channel instrument can also be used to either measure the flow in two separate pipes or even at two seperate points on the same pipe. This flow meter is made by one of the world's leading gas flow meter manufacturers: Panametrics.

The GM868 flow meter for gas is an extremely low maintenance flow meter as it has no moving parts to be worn out, and no parts to collect debris, this means that there is no need to clean, lubricate or do any other routine maintenance. There is also no pressure drop caused by the GM868's transducers, as they do not obstruct the flow, which is a common problem with other types of flow meters.

The GM868 flow meter offers either analogue and digital output options, which make it easy for the user to have the data sent to where it needs to be. There is also the choice of having alarm outputs. These outputs can all be set up and calibrated form the a computer using the Panaview software or from the keypad.
