We are excited to introduce you to our latest innovation: Portapipe® – the ultrasonic liquid level indicator for pipes!
What does it do? Accurately detects and measures liquid levels in horizontal or vertical pipes, cylinders, or other containers with a maximum size of 331 mm (12+ inches) in diameter.
How does it do it? By utilising both time-of-flight and absence/presence detection mechanisms for liquid level measurement, it provides a precise reading of the liquid level in terms of percentage fullness.
How does it do it? It has an accuracy of ±1% of the true level.
How does it work?
– Horizontal pipes can be tested using the Time of Flight Method.
– The sensor is placed at the bottom of the pipe and the Portapipe® accurately measures the height of the liquid in the pipe.
– This measurement is displayed on the screen as a “percentage fullness” based on the diameter of the pipe.
– Vertical pipes can be tested using the Absence / Presence Method.
– As the sensor is moved up and down the pipe, the Portapipe® indicates whether liquid is present or not.
– The presence of liquid is shown on the screen through a bar graph.
Portapipe® easy-to-use design and reliable performance makes it an essential tool for anyone working with fluids and pipes.

Guarantee Safety and Efficiency:
Portapipe®‘s precision and ease-of-use makes it an industry-leading solution to pipe monitoring. By adopting this technology you will improve the safety and operational efficiency of your processes. This is because it increases the ease and reliability of pipeline analysis, thereby giving a better picture of any problem areas in a system.
- Non-invasive evaluation of multiple different areas along the pipe is possible with ultrasonic inspection and requires no downtime or pipe modification.
- Testing can be completed by just one person
- Testing can provide a thorough corrosion evaluation over a short period of time
- The two sensor types provided and its 12-hour battery life, requiring only standard 9V batteries, allows Portapipe® to be seamlessly cross-applied throughout your facility.
Our Portapipe® is carefully hand built and undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure it meets the high standards expected by our customers, and to provide them with long-term reliability.
Conclusion:
Flow measurement are essential for optimising processes, ensuring safety, and minimising waste with applications in a variety of industries from oil and gas to chemical processing and water management. Accurate flow measurement enable you to have better control over resource usage, optimise your processes, and minimise waste which can help improve your environmental impact and reduce operating costs.
The Portapipe® represents a significant innovation over traditional methods of flow measurement which often involve invasive techniques that can disrupt the fluid flow and pose safety hazards.
