Description
Thanks to its ease of installation, the VA 400 flow meter is the ideal tool for conducting pneumatic audits – it is absolutely effortless to move one flow meter between different sections without shutting down the system. The flow meter is installed using a standard 1/2' ball valve even in a pressurized system. During installation and removal, the protective ring prevents the probe from being ejected from the pipe due to pressure. For installation on pipelines of various diameters, VA 400 models are available with probe lengths of 120, 160, 220, 300, 400 mm. The flow meter can be installed on pipes with an internal diameter of 1/2' and above. The scale engraved on the probe facilitates precise alignment of the sensitive element at the center of the pipeline. The maximum immersion length corresponds to the probe length. Thus, for the VA 400 with a probe length of 220 mm, the maximum immersion length is also 220 mm.
Thanks to the wide measurement range, the device can be used even for applications requiring extremely high flow rates (large gas volumes with a small diameter). The measurement range depends on the internal diameter of the pipe (see the table in the specifications).
The flow meter features a robust housing. Available in versions with and without a display. The display can show the current flow in m3/h and the accumulated flow in m3.
By changing the device settings using software, one device can be used to measure the flow of various gases. The VA 400 flow meter can measure the flow of air, nitrogen, natural gas, argon, CO2, oxygen, and other gases.
Advantages
- Built-in display for m³/h and m³;
- Immersion scale for precise installation;
- Can be used on pipelines with diameters from 1/2“ to 12“ (DN 300);
- Simple installation under pressure;
- Analog output 4...20 mA for m³/h or m3/min;
- Pulse output for m³;
- Internal diameter value settable from the display;
- Resettable accumulated flow counter.
ATTENTION, the device is currently discontinued, the modern improved model is — VA 500
