Flow data can be displayed on handheld devices or transmitted to remote systems via analog or digital output modes.
# Product Parameters
## XGM868i Product Specifications
### Operation and Performance
**Fluid Type**
All gases capable of ultrasonic wave propagation
**Nominal Diameter Range**
50 A ~ 3000 mm
**Pipe Material**
All metals. For other material options, please consult Panametrics.
**Accuracy (Flow Velocity)**
Typical reading accuracy: ±1% to ±2%
Measurement accuracy varies depending on pipe diameter and number of measuring paths. Reading accuracy up to ±0.5% can be achieved through actual flow calibration.
**Repeatability**
Reading repeatability: ±0.2% to ±0.5%
**Bidirectional Measurement Range**
-46 m/s ~ +46 m/s
**Overall Turndown Ratio**
1500 : 1
This design specification requires uniform flow velocity distribution (typically requiring a straight pipe length of 20 times the pipe diameter upstream and 10 times downstream) and a flow velocity exceeding 1 meter per second.
**Measurable Parameters**
Mass flow rate, standard flow rate, actual flow rate, cumulative flow rate and flow velocity
**Converter Flow Measurement Method**
Transit Time Difference Method
**Power Supply**
- Standard Voltage: 90~240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
- Optional: 12 to 28 V DC, ±5%
Note: Class 2 power supply must be used for DC power input.
