CS Instruments VA 520 Thermal Mass Flow Meter for compressed air as well as various technical gases. Record and reduce your energy costs and increase your sustainability with the VA 520. Monitor your consumption and analyze your leakages with a permanently installed flow meter in distribution stations, in front of individual departments, or for billing purposes of individual consumers.

Advantages:

Measurement of mass flow rate, the output of standard volume flow rate
High accuracy for both small and large flows
Pressure and temperature are compensated by the thermal mass flow principle
Easy installation and removal of the sensor, the integrated measuring section can remain in the line for cleaning or recalibration of the sensor and can simply be closed with a sealing cap
No moving parts, therefore low maintenance
Vanishingly low-pressure loss due to vanishingly low blockage of the diameter
Can be used for compressed air and non-corrosive gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, helium, etc.
