The Fuji Electric Portaflow-C FSC-4 Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a compact and lightweight flow meter, providing superior performance and simple operation for the noninvasive measurement of flow rates in pipes.

Utilizing the latest electronics and digital signal processing technologies, the Portaflow-C offers high accuracy, fast response time, and outstanding anti-bubble characteristics. In addition to standard flow measurements, the Portaflow-C is suited for heat quantity measurement allowing simple management for heating and cooling applications.

The Portaflow can be used with a variety of detector types applicable for small to large diameter pipe and low to high temperature. This flow meter is crafted for 12 hours of continuous operation with its own built-in battery which is rechargeable in 3 hours with the supplied power adapter. An SD memory card allows flow, velocity and total data to be stored for later recall. A universal USB port allows communication with a PC to facilitate configuring the Portaflow-C as well as saving and reading data files, and a 4.7 inch color graphic display creates an easy-to-use operator interface.
