Insertion Thermal Mass Flow Meter CS VA500/VA570

Description

Insertion Mass Flow Meter CS VA500/VA570 is an affordable mass flow meter for compressed air and gases work according to the approved calorimetric measuring principle. The additional pressure and temperature compensation are not necessary.

Contrary to the previously used bridge circuit the newly developed evaluation electronics records all measured values digitally. This enables very precise and fast measurements.

Due to the new evaluation electronics, all VA 500/ VA 520 models have an integrated Modbus output as a standard. So all parameters can be easily transferred via Modbus.

Due to its compact design, it is possible to monitor all compressed air systems from the compressor to the smallest compressed air tool (1/4“ to 2 inches) with the new mass flow sensor VA 520.

VA 500 flow sensors are available for larger pipe diameters from DN 50 to DN 300. Apart from compressed air also other gases like e.g. nitrogen, oxygen, and CO2 can be measured.
