LAUNCHING The Portapipe®
Coltraco Ultrasonics is proud to announce the launch of Portapipe®, the latest addition to our Level range.
Portapipe® is a lightweight, handheld, ultrasonic level indicator designed for a variety of applications, including pipe fullness measurement, overflow monitoring, blockage detection, and pipe capacity assessment, while remaining intuitive and easy-to-use. The ultrasonic operating principle allows Portapipe® to non-invasively measure your pipes with no downtime or pipe modification required. This allows for safer, easier, and faster pipe monitoring, which in turn makes your industrial operation more efficient.
Highly Versatile Operation:
Portapipe® is operable on a wide variety of pipes and liquids and can be used on either vertical or horizontal pipes using the two measurement modes. This highly versatile device can be used to meet a wide variety of needs, making it a cost effective solution, suitable for a multitude of industries.
The two dual-element sensors can be used on pipes from 25mm to 330mm in diameter and its pre-programmed database includes 16+ fluid types and 13+ pipe materials to allow application on almost any pipe configuration. This database includes the most commonly used industrial fluids (fuels, fire agents, water, etc.) and pipe materials (copper, PVC, carbon steel, etc.) to allow for a quick and easy start-up. Additional fluid types and pipe materials can then be added by simply entering their speed of sound into the database, making it highly customisable and able to adapt to your needs.
Portapipe®’s Dual Applications Explained:
- Horizontal Pipe Measurement using time-of-flight method – The sensor is placed on top or below the pipe and then sends an ultrasonic pulse into the pipe. The time taken to receive the pulse is then calculated against the values pre-programmed into Portapipe® to provide a reading of the percentage fullness of a pipe.
- Vertical Pipe Measurement using presence/absence method – The sensor is moved up and down the pipe while the operator monitors the data using Portapipe®‘s 128×68 backlit LCD display. The display indicates where liquid is or is not present, which by moving the sensor allows an operator to determine the liquid level to ±1% of true level.
Guarantee Safety and Efficiency:
Portapipe®‘s precision and ease-of-use makes it an industry-leading solution to pipe monitoring, improving safety and operational efficiency.
The 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 and 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. This increases the ease and reliability of pipeline analysis, thereby giving a better picture of any problem areas in a system.
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.
