Flow Check with Flange

Contact us for more information

High accuracy

  • High measurement accuracy even in lower measuring range (ideal for leakage measurement)
  • Negligibly small loss of pressure
  • Display

  • Units freely selectable via display keys
  • Compressed air counter up to 1.999.999.999 m3
  • 180 ° turnable display e.g. for overhead installations
  • Interfaces and outputs

  • Digital interfaces such as Modbus RTU, Ethernet (PoE) and M-Bus
  • Connection to higher-level systems such as energy management systems, builiding management systems, SPS
  • Analogue output 4 - 20mA, pulse output
  • Comprehensive diagnosis functions

  • Read out via display or remote access via Modbus-RTU:
  • Exceeding maximum/minimum values °C
  • Calibration cycle
  • Error codes
  • Serial number
  • All parameters can be read out and changed via Modbus
  • The Flow Check with Flange allows for easy installation in existing piping through integrated measuring section (1/4˝ to 2“) and high measuring accuracy due to defined measuring section (inlet and outlet section). Display shows 2 values at the same time:

    • Actual flow in m³/h, l/min
    • Total consumption (counter reading) in m³, l resp. temperature measurement

    Values indicated in the display turnable by 180°C, e.g. in case of overhead installation. It follows a calorimetric measuring principle, making additional pressure and temperature measurements unnecessary.

    Flow Sensors

    To ensure that a compressed air system functions optimally, the proper amount of air needs to reach every part of it. However, to preserve energy, you also don’t want to supply more air than is needed. That’s where a flow sensor is highly useful. It not only makes sure that enough air gets to where it has to go but also that you are not wasting energy.
