VPFlowScope flow meters for compressed air
and industrial gases
FLOW METERS

We designed our flow meters to be easy to use, affordable and complete. You can use our flow meters for
measurement of compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, argon and other industrial gases.
The VPFlowScopes incorporate the 4-in-1 measurement principle: flow, pressure, temperature and total flow.
Moreover, these flow meters can measure bi-directional flow, which is optional on our thermal mass flow
meters with our proprietary Thermabridge sensors, and standard on our differential pressure flow meters.
The VPFlowScope In-line 3/8" is a simpler device, which measures flow, temperature and total flow of
compressed air and oxygen.

The VPFlowScope® Probe is the measurement tool for dry compressed air and other industrial gases, including +
oxygen, nitrogen, CO2, helium, and argon. The VPFlowScope Probe measures thermal mass flow, pressure,
temperature and total flow simultaneously.

The VPFlowScope Probe can be used in various pipe diameters, which makes it the perfect solution for Connection with VPStudio
measuring of both the supply side and demand side of compressed air systems. The flow meter shows you RS485 (Modbus RTU)
where, when and how much air is used in order to allocate cost and subsequently to save money and energy. VPVision or other Energy JB5 interface kit
Management System/Modbus
The bright blue LCD display provides real-time information and with the built-in data logger, you can record for TCP converter
certain periods of time. Combine this with our VPStudio software on your PC and you can use this information
to process data, print reports and analyze where and how exactly you can save.

POWER METERS

With the VPInstruments 3 Phase Power Meter, combined with Current Transformers, you can measure the
voltage and current of all three phases. Thereby, it provides a high accuracy measurement of the real power
consumption. It provides power, voltage, current, cos(phi) and many more electrical parameters via the RS485

POWER METERS

The VPLog-i is a Rogowski type meter that measures AC currents up to 1500A-rms (true-RMS on a single-phase
power cable). The VPLog-i is very easy to use; just wrap around one of the three-phase power cables and close
the snap fitting. The LED provides feedback. The VPLog-i offers the best solution for power measurements in Order codes
audits. The sensor can also be used for permanent installation. In this case, cos(phi) has to be estimated, and
voltage needs to be measured once. These parameters are used to calculate the estimated power consumption. Order codes VPLog-i
