Introducing the New PDFM 6.1 Portable Doppler Flow Meter


Pulsar is Proud to Introduce the New PDFM 6.1 Portable Doppler Flow Meter

Pulsar Measurement is pleased to announce the arrival of the new PDFM 6.1 Portable Doppler Flow Meter!

Whether you need flow measurement because you didn’t have it before, or you need to validate the performance of your existing system, the PDFM 6.1 Portable Doppler Flow Meter is here to help by providing fast, accurate, and non-invasive flow measurement for challenging mediums and industrial environments. No other clamp-on flow meter is easier to install and operate.

With more advanced signal processing for better accuracy and discrimination against interference, a low-power mode for long battery life in extended flow logging applications, and a rugged IP67 extruded aluminium enclosure, the PDFM 6.1 is the right choice for your next immediate or long-term challenging flow measurement application. No downtime is required.

Friendliest Meter for the Unfriendliest Applications

Whenever clamp-on transit-time or contacting flow technologies struggle to measure or need increased maintenance because of the presence of solids or gas in the medium, the PDFM 6.1 and its clamp-on Doppler technology is the right choice for you. By measuring the frequency shift of ultrasonic echoes reflecting off the solids or gas from outside the pipe, the meter can determine the velocity without contacting the medium. The flow rate of any fluid can be measured as long as there are solids or bubbles present. This means the PDFM 6.1 is perfect for challenging applications such as municipal and industrial wastewater, sludge, produced water, slurries, viscous liquids, pulp stock, and abrasives.

Every PDFM 6.1 comes with a rugged Pelican carry case, clamp-on sensor, and stainless-steel mounting kit. Use it for projects where a permanent flow meter is not required, to temporarily replace installed meters that have failed, or to verify output on an existing meter.

Key Features:

Deploy in minutes!

Measure the flow of mediums with suspended solids or gas from outside the pipe

Robust aluminium enclosure with protective silicone bumpers

IP67 rated connectors

Bright, outdoor readable LCD display

USB-C port for convenient data transfer and fast charging

Low-power mode for logging data days to weeks at a time

Advanced Remote Transmitter with Touch Screen Display

The FT-3500 features a remote transmitter with touchscreen display that provides an intuitive interface for users to effortlessly engage with measurement values, application specifics, and configuration settings in a convenient location. In response to industry demands, the advanced transmitter prioritizes seamless communication with native BACnet and MODBUS communication protocols via IP or RS485, along with dual analog output for flow or energy rate.

“Our Engineering team has integrated more than 25 years of instrumentation experience into this product,” says Luis Ojeda, Senior Product Manager, “With its fully configurable display, BACnet & MODBUS communications, thermal energy measurement, & intuitive diagnostics, the FT-3500 sets a new standard for user experience in metering technology.”

Versatile, Accurate, & Reliable Flow Measurement

Every FT-3500 arrives factory configured and features ONICON’s unique hot-tap design which allows for easy insertion or removal from the pipe without system shutdown, making it ideal for retrofits. The no-moving parts design works well in difficult flow measurement applications and requires little maintenance. Whether measuring flow rate or or energy consumption, the FT-3500 Insertion Electromagnetic Flow Meter is a reliable and accurate choice.
