1.1 System Description
The PanaFlow™ LC flowmeter is a one, two, or three channel ultrasonic transit time flowmeter that utilizes
clamp-on transducers on external pipe surfaces to allow for uninterrupted flow operation during flow
measurement. The PanaFlow™ LC flowmeter has up to 3 independent channels. These channels are capable
of measuring the flow rate of acoustically conductive single-phase liquid, which may have limited amount of
second phase. With the 3 channels, the user will have the capability to average them with equal weights, or
with different weights that will better suit the flow profile. The meter is designed for pipe sizes ranging from
½ in. (15 mm) to 300 in. (7600 mm) with wall thickness up to 4 in. (102 mm) for flow velocities up to 80 ft/s
(25 m/s). For a full list of its capabilities, see Appendix A. This manual will serve as a guide to install the
clamping fixture and transducers necessary for accurate flow readings, programming the meter for specific
customer needs, error codes and troubleshooting walk through, and maintenance and service procedures.
