Optional Energy Measurement The TransPort PT878 flowmeter combines proven ultrasonic flow measurement with precise RTD temperature measurement to determine the energy flow rate in liquid heating and cooling systems. With this option, the TransPort flowmeter comes equipped with a built-in power supply for loop-powered RTD temperature sensors, as well as all necessary circuitry and software to make energy flow rate measurements.

The core of the kit includes the PT878 electronics, along with a power charger with North American, European, or United Kingdom power cable. A variety of transducer kits are available to handle a wide range of applications. Selection is based on pipe size and temperature range. More transducers can be added to the kit by ordering separately if the desired combination is not available as part of a standard kit. The PT878 comes standard with a soft sided carrying case.
