Precision and reliability are crucial in fluid handling testing, and our ultrasonic flow meters and liquid level indicators deliver just that.
Utilising advanced ultrasonic technology, here at Coltraco, we offer flow meters and other non-destructive testing products that provide non-intrusive, highly accurate flow measurements to maintain optimal system efficiency and safety.
Similarly, our liquid level indicators offer precise and reliable detection of liquid levels in tanks and vessels, ensuring consistent process control and real-time monitoring.
With ease of installation, minimal maintenance, and adaptability to various industrial environments, Coltraco Ultrasonics’ solutions are engineered to meet the highest performance and durability standards, making them the preferred choice for critical fluid management applications.
Fluid handling systems are integral to various industrial processes, and their testing is crucial for safety and operational efficiency. Ensuring the integrity of these systems through rigorous testing helps prevent leaks, spills, and contamination, which can have profound environmental and safety implications for customers.
Engineers conduct comprehensive testing to determine the reliability and performance of each component within the system, ensuring that every part meets the required standards. For instance, in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment, minor leaks can lead to hazardous conditions, endangering personnel and surrounding communities.
Additionally, tested fluid handling systems enhance operational reliability by identifying potential issues before they escalate into costly failures or downtime. Accurate flow measurement and liquid level detection ensure that processes run smoothly and efficiently, reducing waste and optimising resource usage.
By implementing complete testing protocols with advanced technologies like ultrasonic flow meters and liquid level indicators, industries can achieve more excellent safety standards, maintain regulatory compliance, and realise significant operational benefits, including increased productivity and reduced maintenance costs.
Our ultrasonic flow meters are engineered to deliver precise and consistent flow measurements, which are essential for maintaining the efficiency and safety of your fluid handling systems. Using state-of-the-art ultrasonic technology, these flow meters offer several key benefits:
Our liquid level indicators offer reliable and accurate measurement of liquid levels in tanks and vessels, providing critical data to ensure optimal operation and safety. Key features include:
PERMAFLOW® is a fixed clamp-on ultrasonic transit time flow/heat meter designed for the fluids handling market sectors—accurate to +/—1%. Coltraco Ultrasonics’ flow meters allow users to be better, faster, and cheaper in their applications. In a single instrument, the Permaflow® measures and monitors volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate, and energy (heat quantity) flow rate with a built-in database of over 23 different pipe materials.
PORTATANK®, a handheld, non-invasive ultrasonic liquid level indicator, has been designed and created for our customers’ needs. It accurately measures and identifies the liquid level within tanks/ large containers between 0.5-15 meters in width. It has instant liquid level detection within a clear LED result with noticeable LIQUID / NO LIQUID results. Verifies fixed-level indicators/ sight glasses to ensure the accuracy of measurements where the tank cannot be opened for safety reasons. This is vital to keeping your team safe.

As one of the world’s first innovative portable ultrasonic liquid level indicator with a brand new dual certification, Coltraco Ultrasonic’s Portalevel® INTRINSICALLY SAFE (Portalevel® IS) meets stringent safety standards for explosive atmospheres, making it suitable for use globally in both Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. The device measures liquid levels contained in fire suppression cylinders and other types of tanks stored in hazardous zone environments.
In the maritime industry, ensuring safety isn’t just a best practice—it’s a necessity. According to Lloyd’s List, almost 10% of all total losses at sea in the last decade were caused by fires onboard. As NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt rightly said, “Safety isn’t something you have, it’s something you do.” When lives are at stake, neglecting fire systems and their maintenance is simply unacceptable.
