pFlow F5E Ultrasonic Flowmeter for IoT Applications

Name: pFlow F5E Ultrasonic Flowmeter for IoT – Datasheet & Quote
Brand: pFlow

Description

Overview

The pFlow F5E Ultrasonic Flowmeter combines proven ultrasonic transit-time flow measurement with Internet+ connectivity in an advanced modular design, purpose-built for Internet of Things (IoT) flow monitoring applications. Combined with Gentos’ ultrasonic signal processing technology and unique flow algorithm, the F5E accurately measures fluid flow in the pipeline while transmitting that data to the cloud in real time, enabling remote monitoring and management from anywhere.

As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for pFlow Gentos, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the F5E to water resource management authorities, industrial process operators, and municipal utilities across the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat, and the wider GCC. Its combination of accurate ultrasonic measurement and native IoT connectivity supports the region’s growing demand for centralized, data-driven water and process monitoring infrastructure.

Measurement Principle

The pFlow F5E measures flow using the ultrasonic transit-time principle, in which acoustic pulses are transmitted between transducers mounted on the pipeline. Gentos’ proprietary flow algorithm processes the time differential between pulses traveling with and against the flow direction to derive precise volumetric flow data, all without introducing any obstruction into the pipeline.

In IoT applications, this measurement data is transmitted to the cloud or data center in real time via wired or wireless networks, using communication protocols such as RS-485 and Modbus alongside the F5E’s native Ethernet connectivity. This approach makes data collection, storage, processing, and analysis significantly more convenient and efficient than manual meter reading, particularly for distributed monitoring networks spanning multiple sites.

Engineering Design of the pFlow F5E

The pFlow F5E adopts Power over Ethernet (POE) power supply and Ethernet communication to realize cloud data storage and transmission over a single cable, simplifying installation in both industrial plant rooms and municipal water infrastructure. Users can manage, analyze, and monitor measurement data information by accessing cloud data through mobile terminals and PC terminals anywhere and anytime.

This architecture is particularly well suited to distributed water resource management networks, where the F5E can monitor the flow of rivers, channels, and groundwater in real time, providing data support for optimal management and protection of water resources. In municipal water supply networks, industrial production processes, and water-saving irrigation systems, the F5E’s IoT-native design streamlines the transition from manual to automated flow monitoring.

Key Features

The pFlow F5E combines ultrasonic measurement precision with genuine IoT connectivity. Core capabilities include:

Advanced modular ultrasonic flowmeter combined with Internet+ connectivity for IoT applications.
Power over Ethernet (POE) supply and communication, simplifying cabling and installation.
Real-time cloud data transmission accessible via mobile terminal or PC anywhere, anytime.
Accurate fluid flow measurement using Gentos’ ultrasonic signal processing and unique flow algorithm.
Support for RS-485 and Modbus communication protocols alongside native Ethernet connectivity.
Suitable for water resource management, industrial process monitoring, and municipal water supply.
Real-time monitoring of rivers, channels, and groundwater for water resource protection programs.
Streamlined integration into centralized data centers and remote monitoring platforms.

Industrial Applications

The pFlow F5E is engineered for IoT-driven flow monitoring across water resource management, municipal water supply, and industrial production processes throughout Oman. Water-saving irrigation systems, water distribution networks, and water environment monitoring programs benefit from the F5E’s ability to transmit real-time flow data directly to centralized data platforms for optimal resource management.

As the officially authorized partner for pFlow Gentos, Seven Star LLC distributes the F5E to municipal utilities, agricultural water management authorities, and industrial facilities throughout the Sohar and Salalah economic zones and the broader GCC region, supporting the digital transformation of flow monitoring infrastructure across the region.

Because the F5E is frequently deployed in unattended, remote locations such as riverbank monitoring stations or agricultural pump houses, the combination of POE power delivery and cloud-based diagnostics reduces the need for scheduled site visits purely to check instrument status — operators can confirm a unit is reporting correctly from a central office screen instead.

Why Choose Seven Star LLC for IoT Flow Networks

Water resource authorities and industrial operators building out distributed monitoring networks across Oman need every F5E unit reporting reliably into the same central platform, which makes correct POE and network planning essential before installation begins at multiple remote sites. Seven Star LLC’s engineers help customers plan Ethernet cabling, POE switch capacity, and RS-485/Modbus fallback options for sites with limited network infrastructure, reducing the risk of connectivity gaps once units are deployed in the field.

As the officially authorized partner for pFlow Gentos, we also support municipal utilities and agricultural water management authorities coordinating bulk orders for river, channel, and groundwater monitoring programs spanning multiple locations across Oman and the broader GCC.

About brand

Clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement is what pFlow does. The sensors strap to the outside of the pipe and measure liquid flow by transit time, so the line is not cut and nothing touches the fluid. The brand comes from Gentos, an instrument maker focused on ultrasonic flowmeters, flow sensors and heat and cooling energy meters.

Seven Star LLC is the pFlow agency for Oman and the GCC, listing pFlow ultrasonic flowmeters in fixed, portable and LoRaWAN versions, BTU meters and LoRaWAN flow control valves.

pFlow flowmeter families

Most of the listed models are compact clamp-on sensors grouped by pipe size and duty. The GF family (GFCL, GFR, GF-S-CL, GF-SH-CL for hot water and GF-GH-CL for immersion cooling) and the MF micro flowmeters (MFR, MFCL) serve cooling and process loops on small and medium pipes. The MP series are plug-and-play flow sensors, including the MP801 and a LoRaWAN version. The D116-BTU is a wall-mounted ultrasonic BTU meter, the P116 a portable flowmeter for surveys, and the F8 a fixed meter used in aquaculture. Gentos also builds the F3 series clip-on flowmeters, including a panel-mount version. The VC200-R is a LoRaWAN ball valve that works as a flow switch.

Where pFlow meters are used

The manufacturer documents use in liquid cooling for data centers and semiconductor plants, chilled and hot water metering in central air conditioning, water supply networks and irrigation, aquaculture, and utility lines in petrochemical and power plants.

Ordering a pFlow ultrasonic flowmeter: what we need

Clamp-on meters are selected from pipe data. Send the pipe outside diameter, wall thickness and material, any liner, the liquid and its temperature, the expected flow span and the straight pipe length available. Add the output you need (4-20 mA, pulse, Modbus, LoRaWAN) and the supply voltage. For BTU meters include the supply and return temperature span.
