Flow Sensor VA 400 for Compressed Air and Gases

Our mass flow sensor, VA 400, comes in a robust housing with an optional display to show the actual flow in m³/h, as well as a counter in m³.

The VA 400 can be installed under pressure, using a standard 1/2″ ball valve. A safety ring is provided to prevent an uncontrolled ejection of the probe during installation or removal, which could be caused by the operating pressure. The VA 400 is available in various probe lengths to accommodate different pipe diameters: 120, 160, 220, 300, 400 mm. This makes it suitable for installation into existing pipelines with inner diameters of 1/2″ and upwards.

An engraved depth scale ensures the sensor is positioned correctly in the middle of the pipe. The maximum installation depth matches the respective probe length. For example, a VA 400 with a probe length of 220 mm has a maximum installation depth of 220 mm.
