Description

The VPInstruments VPFlowScope M Flow Meter Start Kit is a four-in-one bidirectional flow meter for compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, argon, and other industrial gases. Featuring 4-20 mA and RS485 (Modbus RTU) outputs, and a built-in Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) interface, the VPFlowScope M is easy to connect directly to any network. It can be installed under pressure and simultaneously measure (bi-directional) thermal mass flow, pressure, temperature, and total flow.

Unlike traditional flow meters, the VPFlowScope M does not require traditional recalibration, where you have to ship the unit back. Instead, it consists of a transmitter and the VPSensorCartridge, reducing recalibration to a simple exchange.
