Panametrics Industrial Measurement Instrument Brand Unit

Module Feature

Panametrics belongs to Baker Hughes, it is a well-known brand for ultrasonic flow measurement and gas analysis instruments. Its core product lines include transit-time ultrasonic flowmeter, trace moisture / dew point analyzer, oxygen analyzer and thermal conductivity gas analyzer.

The ultrasonic flowmeter has clamp-on and inline spool types, no pressure loss, no wetted moving parts, suitable for liquid, steam, flare gas and custody transfer metering. The moisture analyzers adopt aluminum oxide, chilled mirror and polymer sensing technology for trace water vapor detection. Many models support HART, Modbus and 4-20mA output, with hazardous area explosion-proof certification. Widely used in petrochemical, power plant, natural gas pipeline and flare emission monitoring.

Working principle

Transit-time ultrasonic flowmeter sends ultrasonic pulse by paired transducers, calculates flow velocity from the time difference of sound wave along and against flow direction.

Moisture analyzer measures dew point by sensor dielectric change or optical condensation principle. Gas analyzers measure gas concentration through paramagnetic, thermal conductivity or laser absorption method. All measured data are converted into standard industrial signal and uploaded to PLC or DCS for process control and data recording.

Onboard components

Ultrasonic transducer, main signal processing transmitter, sensor probe, display panel, communication circuit board, explosion-proof housing, signal cable and mounting accessories.

LED indicators

Front panel LED indicators for power, measurement valid, fault alarm and communication status.

Hardware self‑diagnosis

Built-in self-check covers transducer signal loss, sensor drift, temperature out of range, communication failure and hardware abnormality. Fault information can be read through register or local display.

Programming software

Panametrics configuration software for flow range setting, gas parameter compensation, alarm threshold setup, calibration and firmware upgrade.

Installation

Select installation position away from air bubble, vortex and heavy vibration. Install ultrasonic transducers according to upstream and downstream straight pipe requirement.

Wire power and signal cable separately, shield grounding correctly. Configure medium parameter and pipe dimension before commissioning. Regular calibration and transducer cleaning are required.

Interface

Power terminals, 4-20mA signal terminals, HART / Modbus communication terminals, ultrasonic transducer ports.

Diagnostic

No flow reading: Transducer loose coupling, wrong pipe parameter setting, cable damage.

Measurement drift: Sensor aging, medium temperature change, need calibration.

Fault alarm: Transducer failure, power supply out of range, internal circuit fault.
