CS Instruments VA 550 Thermal Mass Flow Sensor

CS Instruments VA 550 Thermal Mass Flow Sensor for compressed air and other technical gases. Reduce your energy costs and increase your sustainability with the VA 550. Monitor your consumption and analyze your leakage flows with just one measuring device. Due to its design, it is also ideal for mobile measurements.

CS Instruments VA 550 Thermal Mass Flow Sensor Technical details of the VA 550 flow meter

04…20 mA, Pulse and a Modbus RTU (RS 485) interface as standard, optional interfaces like Modbus TCP (Ethernet), PoE, and M-Bus available
Pressure resistance up to 100 bars
Temperature range up to 180°C
Protection class IP 67
Integrated display for a visualization of the measured values
Can be used from DN 20 to DN 2000, with larger diameters on request
Easy installation under pressure
Settings adjustable via the keys of the display
The main counter reading can be reset via the display
For velocities up to 224 Nm/s
Highly accurate with an accuracy of ± 1.5% or ± 1% of m.v. as well as ± 0.3% of f.s.

Features

All wetted parts are made of stainless steel, especially for applications with high demands on cleanliness and surface quality
Rough industrial applications can be realized due to robust aluminum housing
Recommended for flammable gases such as natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, etc. due to ATEX or DVGW approval
Measurement of mass flow rate, direct output of standard volume flow rate
Highly accurate at small as well as large flows
Pressure and temperature compensated by the thermal mass flow principle
Quick and easy installation via a standard ½” ball valve
No moving parts, therefore low maintenance
Vanishingly low pressure loss due to vanishingly low blockage of the diameter
