VPFlowMate Probe
The VPFlowMate probe is an easy to install solution for compressed air and technical gases. The VPFlowMate probe can be installed in pipe sizes from 2 inches and up. The VPFlowMate can be connected directly to a PC and most analogue and industrial equipment. An optional integrated display is provided for direct read out of flow and total volume. Together with the VPFlowTerminal remote display, the VPFlowMate forms a plug and play solution for compressed air flow metering.

- NOTE: See technical guidelines for installation effects and ideal installation requirements.
** NOTE: The temperature error is typically less than 0.1% of reading per degree Celsius.
*** NOTE: The pressure error is typically 0.3% of full scale per bar deviation of the calibration pressure. The pressure error of the VPFlowMate® is specified for a range of +/- 3 bar around the calibration pressure. Ask for custom calibration when using the VPFlowMate® at atmospheric or low line pressure
