VPFlowScope M - Flow meter for compressed air

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.
