Description
The sensitive element is a precise differential pressure sensor that measures differential/dynamic pressure. The pressure depends on the flow velocity of the corresponding gas. Using the known pipeline diameter, it is easy to determine the flow rate of gas or compressed air. Thanks to additional measurements of temperature and absolute pressure, as well as the calculation of the corresponding density, measurements of various gases can be carried out over wide temperature and pressure ranges.
Advantages
- New capability: unique sensitivity in the lower measurement range - flow measurement from 2 m/s, covering the entire operating range of variable speed drive (VSD) compressors.
- Ideal for measuring extremely high flow rates
- Measured parameters: flow, total consumption, temperature, and pressure.
- Operation at high temperatures: maximum medium temperature: 180 °C.
- Application range: can be used in pipelines from DN 20 to DN 600.
- Pressure installation using a 1/2" ball valve
