on your budget

The PanaFlow Z3 is a three-path, wetted ultrasonic flow
meter that brings together all of the advantages of ultrasonictechnology at a very affordable value. Unlike other flow
measurement technologies, the PanaFlow Z3 does notrequire maintenance since it does not have any obstructionin the flow path that could clog the process line or moving
parts to be damaged by the flowing fluid.

What is the PanaFlow Z3?

The PanaFlow Z3 consists of the Panametrics PanaFlow
XMT1000 electronics, three pairs of LX transducers, and sensor
body. The XMT1000 is our latest ultrasonic flow transmitterwith state-of-the-art flow measurement capability in arugged enclosure certified for use in hazardous areas. The LX
transducer system is our latest advancement in ultrasonictransducer technology and provides accurate, drift-free andobstructionless flow measurement.

Also, due to the inherent nature of our ultrasonic flow
measurement, the PanaFlow Z3’s measurement is notaffected by changing process conditions (temperature,pressure, and conductivity) and does not drift over time,
which eliminates the requirement for periodic calibration.
Without requirements for maintenance and calibration,
the PanaFlow Z3 offers high performance with a low cost ofownership.

Fast and easy installation

Installation of wetted systems can be difficult and if they
are not installed with precision and with close attention todetail, the reliability and accuracy of the system may notmeet specifications. With the new PanaFlow Z3 system,
the assembly work is done at the factory. The necessarycomponents are already installed, so all the user needs to do
is to bolt the end flanges into place.

Transit time flow measurement

LX transducer

The LX transducer system consists of our new integrated LX
transducers and our uniquely engineered buffers. The designof this system allows for the safe insertion and removal of
the LX transducers at any time without isolating the flowmeter, shutting down the process or using any special tools.
Together with the XMT1000 electronics and LX transducer,
the uniquely designed meter body provides a clean andcompact flow meter system.

In this method, two transducers serve as both ultrasonicsignal generators and receivers. They are in acoustic
communication with each other, meaning the second
transducer can receive ultrasonic signals transmitted by the
first transducer and vice versa.
In operation, each transducer functions as a transmitter,
generating a certain number of acoustic pulses, and then asa receiver for an identical number of pulses. The time interval
between transmission and reception of the ultrasonic signals
is measured in both directions. When the liquid in the pipe is
not flowing, the transit time downstream equals the transit
time upstream. When the liquid is flowing, the transit time
downstream is less than the transit time upstream.
The difference between the downstream and upstream
transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flowing
liquid, and its sign indicates the direction of flow.

Weights and dimensions

Accuracy statement assumes measurement of asingle phase homogenous liquid with a fully developed
symmetrical flow profile passing through the meter (typically
10 diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream ofstraight pipe run).

See drawings 712-2166 (local mount) and 712-2167 (remotemount) for details.

Applications with piping arrangements that create an
asymmetrical flow profile may require extended piping
straight runs and/or flow conditioning for the meter toperform to this specification.
