Coltraco - Model Portapipe -Pipe Liquid Level Indicator

A Dual-Application Level Indicator

Portapipe® can be utilised in two ways to best meet your requirements:

For Horizontal Pipes: Portapipe® uses a time-of-flight method to accurately determine and display the liquid level as a percentage of the pipe’s capacity.

For Vertical Pipes: Portapipe® uses a presence/absence method where the sensor is sequentially moved up and down to detect the liquid level.

An operator can switch between these two methods at the click of a button, meaning that Portapipe® can be rapidly applied along the full length of a pipe system, no matter its orientation. This allows Portapipe® to be used for a variety of applications, including pipe fullness measurement, overflow monitoring, blockage detection, and pipe capacity assessment.

Portapipe® Does It All

Portapipe®’s computerised database contains most commonly used industrial fluids (fuels, fire agents, water, etc.) and pipe materials (copper, PVC, carbon steel, etc.) to allow for easy start-up and measurement. New entries can easily be made into this database by an operator with a different fluid or pipe material’s speed of sound; this makes Portapipe® a truly versatile device which can be customised to best suit your needs.

Portapipe® is handheld and portable which makes it a solution that can be cross applied to different pipes throughout a facility. Its quick and easy measurement process allows it to be used to monitor output or detect leaks whenever and wherever the need arises. With two sensor options included, Portapipe® can be adapted to indicate the level within different pipe sizes, and its IP 65 rating allows it to be applied in even the most challenging contexts.
