CS Instruments VD 500 | Flow Sensor for Wet Compressed Air | from 2 m/s, -30...+180 °C, 30 bar
The VD 500 measures directly downstream of the compressor, where air is still wet and hot, so the delivery of a compressor can be monitored and a FAD analysis produced. Measurement starts from 2 m/s, covering the full operating range of variable speed drive compressors, and handles very high flow rates. It reports flow, total consumption, temperature and pressure.
