Calculator
takes the
measure of
liquid levels
coltraco ultrasonics
has launched the portasteele calculator, which it says is the
first system of its kind able to convert the liquid level contents
of fire suppression agents into a weight/mass reading. By
converting the liquid level height of co2, noVec 123, FM-200
and other liquefied gaseous readings taken with a ul-listed
portalevel MaX, the portasteele calculator can calculate the
exact mass/weight of the agent inside any cylinder and caters
Less handling and cleaning with

mathematically for temperature variations.
removing the need for traditional manual dismantling and
weighing of the system, the portasteele calculator is based on a
stand-alone 7” tablet computer that makes calculations in real
time, allowing the software to be used immediately in the field.
the portasteele calculator has the ability to save frequently
used cylinder sizes and settings and also export the collected
testing data, allowing service technicians to easily send
servicing reports back to the office or directly to customers.
