Aquatrans Ultrasonic Flow Meter: Panametrics Dedicated Liquid Pipeline Spools
Quick Answer
An Aquatrans ultrasonic flow meter from Panametrics measures liquid flow with wetted or clamp on transducers. A dedicated liquid pipeline spool is a factory built pipe section with transducer ports, flanges and alignment complete. Silver Automation Instruments supplies the spool and the meter set for water, wastewater and industrial liquid lines.
What Is the Aquatrans Ultrasonic Flow Meter
The Aquatrans ultrasonic flow meter is a liquid flow meter from the Panametrics product family. The common electronics head is the Panametrics AquaTrans AT600. It uses ultrasonic signals to measure flow velocity. Because the transducer spacing is set at the factory on a dedicated spool, the meter gives repeatable results on short straight runs. The electronics can output 4-20 mA HART, pulse and Modbus RTU.
We treat this meter as a workhorse for clean water, raw water, cooling water and some light chemical liquids. It is not a magnetic flow meter replacement for thick sludge or liquids with high solids. But for many water and light chemical lines, it solves the problem well.
Why a Dedicated Spool Matters
Here is the thing. A dedicated spool removes most of the field installation variables. The spool arrives with the right face to face length, flange drilling and transducer ports. The pipe section is usually pressure tested before shipping. You do not need to weld brackets on a live line or guess the transducer spacing.
In practice, a spool mounted meter is easier to install than a field clamp on setup. We have seen this on customer sites many times. Last year a customer in Vietnam ordered a DN150 replacement spool for a Panametrics Aquatrans installation. The original carbon steel spool had pitting. We built a new 316L spool with the same face to face dimension. The site crew installed it in one shift and the meter was back online.
Typical Sizes and Materials
Common spool sizes range from DN15 to DN600. Small DN15 and DN20 spools work for clean liquids with low flow. For most water lines, DN50 to DN300 gives the best balance of cost and accuracy. Larger sizes are available on request.
Materials depend on the liquid. Carbon steel with epoxy lining fits many water and wastewater lines. 316L stainless steel works for seawater, desalination plant feed and chemical dosing. For a seawater flow meter for desalination plant service, we often quote 316L flanges with a PTFE facing.
Temperature sensors are optional. For custody transfer or flow computer integration, we can include a PT100 input. Pressure transmitters are not always needed but some customers ask for them on the same spool.
How to Specify a Panametrics Liquid Pipeline Spool
You need five data points for a firm quote. Pipe size in DN. Flow range in m3/h or kg/h. Liquid type and viscosity in cP if it is not water. Pressure in bar. Temperature in
A paint manufacturer in Southeast Asia asked about a DN40 spool for solvent flow. The liquid was 2.4 cP at 35 °C and the flow range was 400 kg/h to 900 kg/h. We used that data to confirm the transducer type and recommend 316L wetted parts. That is the level of detail that avoids a wrong order.
Most engineers skip this part during the first inquiry. If the fluid has low viscosity or a high solids load, tell us before we quote. Ultrasonic meters do not like gas bubbles or air slugs. A dedicated spool can include an air release point if needed.
Supply Scope from Silver Automation Instruments
We are a flow meter manufacturer and supplier based in China. We ship to Southeast Asia, Oceania, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. For Panametrics dedicated liquid pipeline spools, we can supply the replacement spool only or the spool with the Aquatrans meter electronics.
We also handle export documents, pressure test reports and material certificates. If the site requires ATEX Zone 1 or Zone 2 rating, we confirm the transmitter housing and cable glands. For water and wastewater projects, Silver Instruments keeps the documentation simple.
Price depends on pipe size, material and meter electronics. A carbon steel DN80 spool is lower cost than a 316L DN300 spool with full documentation and pressure test. We quote by email or WhatsApp before shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you supply a replacement Aquatrans ultrasonic flow meter spool for an existing Panametrics installation?
Yes. Send us the old spool drawing or the face to face dimension, flange standard, pipe schedule and transducer model. We will match the new spool to the existing meter.
What pipe sizes are available for Panametrics dedicated liquid pipeline spools?
We quote DN15 to DN600 as standard. Larger pipe sizes are possible but the spool becomes heavy and shipping costs rise. Rail or sea freight may be needed.
Which industries use these spools most?
Water plants, wastewater plants, desalination facilities and chemical process lines. We also see them in HVAC cooling water and industrial wastewater discharge.
What data do you need to quote a spool mounted Aquatrans meter?
Send us your pressure (bar), temperature (°C), pipe size (DN), and flow range. If the liquid is not water, include viscosity in cP and density in kg/m3.
Do you supply the meter electronics or only the spool?
We supply both. You can buy the dedicated spool alone or order the spool with the Panametrics Aquatrans electronics installed and configured.
