Key parameters
Accuracy
Velocity: ±2–5% typical (≤6 in); ±1–2% typical (>6 in)
Display
240 × 200 pixel backlit LCD graphic; 25-key rubberized keypad
Measurement Principle
Patented Correlation Transit-Time ultrasonic (clamp-on gas)
Fluid Types
Acoustically conductive gases: natural gas, compressed air, fuel, erosive/corrosive/toxic, high-purity, air-separation
Pipe Sizes
0.75–12 in with PT878GC-01; 4–24 in and larger with PT878GC-02
Pipe Materials
All metals and plastics; no lined pipes
Fits portable clamp-on gas flow surveys where you need a TransPort PT878GC correlation transit-time meter for acoustically conductive gases on metal or plastic pipes.
Key advantages
- Principle — Patented Correlation Transit-Time ultrasonic (clamp-on gas)
- Pipes — 0.75–12 in (PT878GC-01); 4–24 in and larger (PT878GC-02); metals/plastics; no lined pipes
- Performance — Velocity ±2–5% typical (≤6 in); ±1–2% (>6 in); rangeability 150:1
- Portable — IP67; rechargeable ~8 h; 240×200 graphic LCD
- I/O / log — 0/4–20 mA; pulse/frequency; two 4–20 mA T/P inputs; >100,000 log points
Typical applications
- Natural gas, compressed air, and fuel gas surveys.
- Temporary clamp-on checks without cutting pipe.
- Multi-site logging (32 site locations).
Selection guide
- Kit — PT878GC-01 vs -02 for pipe size band
- Gas / pressure — Acoustically conductive gases; coupling conditions
- T/P inputs — Use of 4–20 mA temperature/pressure inputs
- Transducers — Match pipe size/material
Common mistakes
- Trying lined pipes — PT878GC datasheet excludes lined pipes.
- Expecting liquid DF868 performance on gas — this is the gas portable.
- Ignoring pipe size kit limits (01 vs 02).
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- Gas, pipe size/material, pressure/temperature.
- 01 vs 02 kit; logging needs.
- Quantity and ship-to.
