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 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
