PanaFlow LC

Panametrics ultrasonic clamp-on
liquid flow meter for process applications
Introducing the PanaFlow LC

PanaFlow LC applications

The PanaFlow LC is the latest generation in permanent clamp-on
ultrasonic flow meters for process applications from Panametrics’
line of ultrasonic meters. It capitalizes on the superior performanceof its predecessor, the Digital Flow XMT868, but includes improved
signal processing and performance.

• Suitable for hazardous area environment with either an
explosionproof or flameproof design for vital processenvironments

PanaFlow LC advantages• Wide selection of transducers suitable for many
applications• Hazardous area certification• Improved accuracy and repeatability through enhanced
signal processing• HART and Foundation Fieldbus digital protocols• Wider flow range to handle more diverse flow
measurements• Velocity, volumetric, mass, and totalizer flow ratemeasurements• Based on legacy Panametrics technology for reliable flow
measurements.

• Designed for most refinery or chemical liquids includinghydrocarbon liquids, crude oil, lubricating oils, refinedhydrocarbon oils, solvents, chemicals, water, sea water,and more• Suitable for most pipe sizes and materials, bothlined or unlined• Optional SIL certified configuration for safety criticalapplications

Panametrics clamp-on flow
ultrasonicWith transit time flow measurement, two transducers serve as
both ultrasonic signal generators and receivers. When mounted
on a pipe, 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 thenas a receiver for an identical number of pulses. The transit
time interval between the transmission and reception of thesignal is measured in both directions. When the liquid in thepipe is not flowing, the transit time downstream equals thetransit time upstream. When the liquid is flowing, the transit
time downstream is less than the transit time upstream. The
difference in transit times is proportional to the velocity of theflowing liquid, and its sign indicates the direction of flow.
With a clamp-on installation, the transducers are mounted onto
the outside of the pipe instead of being in direct contact with theflowing fluid. A clamp-on installation has many advantages overtraditional installations including:• No process shutdown to install transducers• No cutting into the pipe to install the flowmeter

Next generation XMT1000transmitter

The XMT1000 is a new, cost-effective ultrasonic flow transmitterthat builds on Panametrics flow expertise and on years of reliable
performance from its XMT868i predecessor. It offers stateof-the-art flow measurement capability in a rugged remotemounted transmitter certified for use in hazardous areas. Itbrings a new level of performance with improved accuracy,configurable inputs and outputs, and multiple ultrasonictransducer path options.
Key improvements to the XMT1000 include:• Faster signal processing• Latest HART and Foundation Fieldbus protocol• PanaView Plus Software• 1, 2, or 3 path measurements• Improved rangeability• New and improved diagnostics• Optional SIL certification• No additional flanges or welding required before installingthe flowmeter

Automatically adjusting to changing
fluid properties• Install at any time since the process does not need to be
shutdown saving project management timeStandard in all PanaFlow XMT1000 transmitters, our unique
Automatic Tracking Window™ (ATW™) feature ensures accurate
flow measurements even when fluid properties are unknownor changing. ATW dynamically sweeps the receiver window
whenever the sound speed of the fluid changes. This powerfulfeature lets you measure flow when the fluid sound speed isunknown, or is changing.

• No maintenance with a solid couplant installation since thetransducers are not exposed to the process fluidPanaFlow LC specifications

• ±0.5% in field calibration possible

Installation assumes a fully developed, symmetrical flow
profile (typically 10 diameters upstream and 5 diameters
downstream of straight pipe run). Final installation accuracy
is a function of multiple factors including pipe centricity,
installation accuracy, and others.
