pFlow P118i Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter

Overview

The pFlow P118i Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter represents a pinnacle in non-invasive, temporary flow measurement technology. Designed for field engineers, maintenance teams, and water management professionals, this completely portable device allows for rapid flow audits without the need to cut pipes or halt industrial processes. As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for pFlow Gentos, Seven Star LLC is proud to supply this advanced metering solution to critical infrastructure projects, water treatment plants, and industrial complexes across the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat, and the wider GCC region.

Housed in a rugged, handheld form factor and equipped with a brilliant 3.5-inch TFT color display, the P118i empowers technicians to conduct highly accurate spot-checks, verify the performance of existing inline meters, and perform comprehensive leak detection surveys. Its non-contact architecture ensures that the device never touches the internal fluid, making it the absolute gold standard for hygienic applications such as municipal drinking water supply networks and pharmaceutical processing.

Measurement Principle

The foundational operational mechanism of the P118i relies on highly accurate transit-time ultrasonic flow measurement. The unit utilizes a pair of external clamp-on transducers that transmit and receive high-frequency acoustic signals diagonally across the pipe wall and into the fluid medium. By calculating the exact time difference (transit-time) between the upstream and downstream signal propagation, the internal microprocessor determines the precise fluid velocity.

This advanced acoustic processing algorithm dynamically filters out ambient pipeline noise and adapts to varying fluid profiles. Because the sensors are completely isolated from the internal fluid, the measurement principle introduces zero pressure drop, prevents mechanical wear and tear, and completely eliminates the risk of cross-contamination in pure-water or corrosive fluid applications.

Engineering Design

The physical architecture and electronic engineering of the pFlow P118i Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter are meticulously optimized for rapid deployment and maximum field mobility. The primary transmitter unit features an integrated, high-capacity rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, providing up to 10 hours of continuous operation in remote locations where AC power is unavailable. The 3.5-inch high-resolution backlit screen offers exceptional readability even under direct sunlight, paired with an intuitive keypad for seamless on-site parameter configuration.

The device is universally adaptable to a massive range of standard pipe sizes, specifically engineered to accommodate diameters from as small as 15 mm up to a massive 6000 mm. Furthermore, the acoustic transducers are factory-calibrated to penetrate various standard pipe materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, PVC, and HDPE. For comprehensive data analysis, the unit features an integrated SD/TF card logger, allowing engineers to record thousands of data points for later download and compliance reporting.

• Integrated rechargeable Lithium-ion battery delivering up to 10 hours of continuous field operation.
• High-visibility 3.5-inch TFT color display paired with a user-friendly configuration keypad.
• Built-in SD/TF data logger for extensive field data recording and historical flow trend analysis.
• Native analog 4-20mA output for direct integration with portable data acquisition systems.
• Zero pressure drop, zero moving parts, and total elimination of fluid contamination risks.

Industrial Applications

The extreme portability and non-intrusive design of this ultrasonic flowmeter make it an indispensable asset across continuous-process industries and municipal water infrastructure. In the large-scale desalination plants and water distribution networks of Oman, these meters provide field engineers with the precise volumetric data required to conduct raw water audits, calibrate older mechanical meters, and detect hidden pipeline leaks.

Food-and-beverage processing facilities and pharmaceutical manufacturers across the GCC rely heavily on this technology for life-science grade liquid measurement. Because the sensors never touch the internal water, strict sanitary conditions are effortlessly maintained. As the officially authorized partner for pFlow Gentos, Seven Star LLC distributes these portable meters to major industrial contractors, HVAC maintenance firms, and utility providers within the Sohar and Salalah economic zones, empowering them with data-driven water stewardship capabilities.
