Fits compressed-air and technical-gas metering where you need a VPFlowScope In-line Thermabridge meter measuring flow, pressure, and temperature with Modbus and 4–20 mA/pulse.

Key advantages

  • Measurands — Flow, pressure, temperature, and totalizer (three-in-one)
  • Sizes / ranges — 0.5 in: 0.23–80; 1 in: 0.91–250; 2 in: 3.55–1000 m³n/h class
  • Flow accuracy — 0.5% FSS under calibration conditions with air (with calibration report)
  • Pressure — 0–16 bar g standard (35 bar / 500 psi on request)
  • Outputs — RS485 Modbus RTU, 4–20 mA, and pulse; optional display/logger

Typical applications

  • Compressed air allocation and leakage programs on branch lines.
  • Technical gases (N2, O2, He, Ar, CO2, mixes) in-line metering.
  • Submetering with optional bi-directional Thermabridge.

Selection guide

  • Line size — 0.5 / 1 / 2 in and matching flow range
  • Display — D0 none; D10 display; D11 display + ~2M point logger
  • Pressure option — 16 bar standard vs 35 bar request
  • Gas — Air vs named technical gas for calibration

Common mistakes

  • Using in-line VPFlowScope on wet/saturated air — prefer VPFlowScope DP for wet air.
  • Ignoring inlet/outlet straight-run needs on small branches.
  • Ordering D0 then expecting on-meter logging.

When to RFQ / what to tell us

  1. Pipe size, gas, flow/pressure span.
  2. Display/logger and bi-directional needs.
  3. Quantity and ship-to.
