Orcas is a portable ultrasonic flowmeter designed for speed and ease of use. With the Orcas, you can capture accurate and reliable flow measurements in under one minute—saving you time and money. There are no wires and no bulky electronics to haul around. Your mobile device connects wirelessly to display measurements. And, the ultrasonic flowmeter installs on the outside of your pipe. With Orcas Flowmeter and the Orcas App, you’ll get your job done more quickly every time.
Installation: Installs on pipe from 1″ to 72″ nominal diameter depending on hardware selection 15 pipe diameters upstream, 5 diameters downstream for optimal performance (typical) Pipe Materials Metal: Steel, Stainless Steel, Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Iron Plastic: PVC, CPVC, HDPE, LDPE, PE, PIP, FRP. PEX Min. Wall Thickness -T420: 0.05″ -T410: 0.10″ -T405: 0.20″ Flow Range Bi-directional; 0.1 ft/s to 60 ft/s (0.03 m/s to 20 m/s) Performance PIPE SIZE RANGE ACCURACY (% OF READING) REPEATABILITY 3″ to 96″ ±1.0% to 2.0% typical 0.5% 1″ to 2″ ±2.0% to 3.0% typical 0.5% Under standard conditions, assuming fully developed and symmetrical flow profile (typically taken on a straight run of 15 diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream; flow rate above 3 ft/s or 1m/s; non-aerated liquids). If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
