July 2019Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
This new thermal compressed air meter for compressed air in industrial use distinguishes itself as an all-rounder. It not only has an integrated temperature sensor, but also features a pressure sensor, allowing the user to read four process values at once (volumetric flow, pressure, temperature, totaliser = total quantity meter) and thereby optimise production.
Integration of the SD compressed air meter into the maintenance unit of existing or new installations provides additional advantages. Now the process values of compressed air in industrial use can be effectively monitored in common compressed air networks via the integrated TFT display, which allows for selection between four different and individually adjustable graphic layouts. The process values can also be transmitted via IO-Link.
