Series TFXL - Non-Invasive Small-Pipe Flow Meter

Series TFXL is an ultrasonic flow meter that clamps on to the outside of a pipe.  It is designed to replace mechanical flow meters in applications where liquid conditions tend to damage or impede mechanical flow meter operation.  Installation of the TFXL is cost effective and the meter requires no maintenance.  The unit may be ordered with or without a local display.  All meters provide two flow rate outputs: 4-20 mA analog and simulated turbine meter frequency, permitting the product to be interfaced with a variety of monitoring equipment.  A Windows®-based software utility allows users to configure, calibrate and troubleshoot.

The TFXL integral mount flow meter is offered on pipe sizes from 1/2" (12mm) to 2" (50mm).  It is also available as a remote mount system for small pipes from 1/2" (12mm) to 2" (50mm) and large pipes from 2" (50mm) and up.

Series TFXP - Portable Flow Meter

Series TFXP Portable Transit Time Flow meters feature the world's most advanced non-invasive flow measurement technology - providing a measuring system with unsurpassed accuracy, versatility, ease of installation and dependability.  Although designed primarily for cleaner liquids, the flow meter operates reliably with greater amounts of suspended solids or aeration than previous transit time ultrasonic flow meters were capable of measuring.  TFXP is designed for long- or short-term measurement flow surveys on full-pipe liquid systems and is ideal for verifying calibration of permanently mounted flow meters of all types.

The flow meter features a tactile keypad, 24-hour battery (rechargeable), removable 200,000-event data logger (optional) and a 64x128 pixel, back-lit graphics display integrated into a watertight enclosure.  All TFX systems utilize Dynasonics' proprietary dual time-base time expansion algorithm, advanced DSP and digital cross-correlation.  TFX also provides an optical interface which is utilized with ULTRALINK™, a Windows®-based software utility.  The software utility allows simple in-field programming, calibration and software upgrades.

The cost effective and versatile TFXP flow comes complete with all accessories necessary for measuring piping systems from 2" (50mm) and higher.

Additional Features of the TFXP include:

  • Removable, field-swappable, 200,000-event datalogger module (optional).  The logger has an integral DB-9 connection that plugs directly into a PC serial port for very fast 56.7k data uploads.
  • Automatic Reynolds Number compensation assures accurate measurements through the laminar, transition and turbulent system flow regions.
  • Integral 24 hour rechargeable battery allows extended operation when AC power is not available. Both AC and cigarette socket style power adapters (battery chargers) are included.
  • Compartmentalized, padded carrying case keeps the TFXP meter and all of its accessories organized and protected.
  • TFX has a flow measuring range that exceeds 4000:1. This feature allows the instrument to measure normal process flow rates as well as flows resulting from leaks in piping and valves.
  • User configurable rate and totalizer units include: feet, gallons, ft3, mil-gal, barrels, acre-feet, lbs, meters, liters, m3, mil-liters and kg.
  • Non-invasive clamp-on transducers are simple and cost efficient to install. Since the transducers do not contact the liquid, fouling and maintenance are eliminated.
  • An integral optical interface and ULTRALINK™, a Windows®-based software utility, provide complete control of system configuration, calibration and diagnostics -- without connecting any wires.

 

Series TFXM - Multiple-Pipe, Multiple-Path Flow Meter

Series TFXM Transit Time Flow Meters feature the world's most advanced non-invasive flow measurement technology available -- providing a measuring system with unsurpassed accuracy, versatility, low-cost of installation and low-cost of ownership.  The TFX system installs quickly onto liquid piping systems with its non-invasive, non-fouling transducers and can be configured and operational within minutes.   Up to eight discrete channels/pipes can be utilized with mathematical formulas to display and output average flow, flow difference, proportions or sums.

The TFXM includes a standard RS485 module and two additional input/output plug-in modules.  In addition to the eight channels that can be configured and displayed on the TFXM console, the flow meter has the ability to daisy-chain up to 127 meters utilizing the RS485 module.

The TFXM is designed for permanent installation on liquid systems and can be configured and operational within minutes.  It has an oversized LCD and an integral keypad that allows field configuration without the use of a computer.  TFXM also provides an optical interface which can be used with ULTRALINK™, an optional Windows®-based software utility.   The software utility allows simple in-field programming, calibration and software upgrades.  All systems utilize Dynasonics' proprietary dual time-base time expansion software algorithm, digital cross-correlation, optically isolated input-output busses and field replaceable duplex communication I/O modules.

The TFXM flow measurement system is a cost-effective, versatile investment that can be readily configured for piping from 2" (50mm) and higher using the standard transducers.  The DTTS small pipe transducers are capable of measurement on piping from 1/2" (12mm) to 2" (50mm).

Series TFXD - Dedicated Flow Meter

Series TFXD Transit Time Flow meters feature the world's most advanced non-invasive flow measurement technology available -- providing a measuring system with unsurpassed accuracy, versatility, low-cost of installation and low-cost of ownership.  The TFX system installs quickly onto liquid piping systems with its non-invasive, non-fouling transducers and can be configured and operational within minutes.

The TFXD is designed for permanent installation on liquid systems and is available in both blind (TFXD1) and displayed (TFXD2) configurations.  TFXD2 has an oversized LCD and an integral keypad that allows field configuration without the use of a computer.   Both versions include an optical interface which can be used with ULTRALINK™, an optional Windows®-based software utility.   The software utility allows simple in-field programming, calibration and software upgrades.  All systems utilize Dynasonics' proprietary dual time-base time expansion software algorithm, digital cross-correlation, optically isolated input-output busses and field replaceable duplex communication I/O modules.

The TFXD flow measurement system is a cost-effective, versatile investment that can be readily configured for piping from 2" (50mm) and higher using the standard transducers.  The DTTS small pipe transducers are capable of measurement on piping from 1/2" (12mm) to 2" (50mm).
