The CDI Meters 5250 Series Hot-Tap Flow Meter is designed to be installed under pressure. It incorporates two valves for the probes to pass through and a muffler that collects chips from the drilling process. The 5250 series takes an equal amount of installation time as the 5200 series meter and requires no shutdown of the compressed-air system.

The CDI 5250 measures flow by keeping one probe warmer than the other and determining the mass flow rate from the amount of heat required. The flow rate, in SCFM or equivalent units, is shown on a large, four-digit display; a 4-20 mA output and a pulse output permit remote display, totalizing, and data collection.

The CDI 5250 meters are commonly used for point-of-use monitoring of compressed air in textile mills, food packaging plants, groundwater remediation, printing plants and bottling plants; they are also widely used for branch-line monitoring.
