The Portapipe® is a portable and battery powered liquid level indicator designed to non-invasively, accurately, and reliably measure the level of liquid within a pipe. The Portapipe® can be applied to both vertical and horizontal pipes from 25mm to 330mm in diameter to provide a precise result within ±1% of true level.

Portapipe® can be utilised in two ways to best meet your requirements:
For Horizontal Pipes: Portapipe® uses a time-of-flight method to accurately determine and display the liquid level as a percentage of the pipe’s capacity.
For Vertical Pipes: Portapipe® uses a presence/absence method where the sensor is sequentially moved up and down to detect the liquid level.
An operator can switch between these two methods at the click of a button, meaning that Portapipe® can be rapidly applied along the full length of a pipe system, no matter its orientation. This allows Portapipe® to be used for a variety of applications, including pipe fullness measurement, overflow monitoring, blockage detection, and pipe capacity assessment.
Portapipe®’s computerised database contains most commonly used industrial fluids (fuels, fire agents, water, etc.) and pipe materials (copper, PVC, carbon steel, etc.) to allow for easy start-up and measurement. New entries can easily be made into this database by an operator with a different fluid or pipe material’s speed of sound; this makes Portapipe® a truly versatile device which can be customised to best suit your needs.
Portapipe® is handheld and portable which makes it a solution that can be cross applied to different pipes throughout a facility. Its quick and easy measurement process allows it to be used to monitor output or detect leaks whenever and wherever the need arises. With two sensor options included, Portapipe® can be adapted to indicate the level within different pipe sizes, and its IP 65 rating allows it to be applied in even the most challenging contexts.

Portatank® is a handheld, portable, and battery powered liquid level indicator designed to non-invasively, accurately, and reliably measure the level of liquid within a tank. Portatank® is suitable for application on vessels from 0.5m to 15m in diameter and can reliably detect the level of most clean liquids in metal, plastic, or glass vessels. It is also commonly used to detect oil levels in transformers in both pole mounted or pad mounted transformers.

The Portasonic® PRO is a handheld tablet-based ultrasonic clamp-on flow meter with built-in pressure prediction software for calculating internal pipe pressure from measured flow rates. It combines the functionality of the non-invasive flow measurement of the Portasonic® with the pressure prediction capability of the Portasonic® CALCULATOR, to form the first instrument capable of predicting the internal pressure within pipes, using non-invasive, externally measured flow sensors.
