VPS M
VPFlowScope M flow meter
With the VPFlowScope® M you are ready for the future. This next-generation flow meter is Industry 4.0/IOT ready. Next to 4 .. 20 mA and RS485 (Modbus RTU), it also has a built-in Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) interface, making it easy to connect directly to any network. It can be installed under pressure and measures (bi-directional) thermal mass flow, pressure, temperature and total flow simultaneously.
Unlike traditional flow meters, the VPFlowScope M does not require traditional recalibration, where you have to ship the unit back. Instead, the VPFlowScope M consists of a Transmitter and the patented VPSensorCartridge® which reduces recalibration to a simple exchange.
The VPFlowScope® M is a four-in-one bidirectional flow meter for compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, argon and other industrial gases. It can be installed under pressure and measures bi-directional flow, pressure, temperature and totalized flow, simultaneously. The optional data logger has a 1-year automated retention policy. The VPFlowScope M is available in two sizes, the P350 and P220, designed to accommodate different pipe diameters. Both sizes maintain high accuracy and reliability, making the VPFlowScope M a versatile solution for compressed air and technical gas flow measurements.
