Clamp-on ultrasonic measurement for retrofit and temporary measurements, without opening the pipe. Quick clamp system for metal pipes: 25–90 mm outside diameter, from 3 bar gauge pressure; no upper pressure limit imposed by the sensor. Larger pipe diameters available on request.
Compact inline sensor for measuring volume flow, consumption and temperature on machinery and consumer equipment. With an optional flow straightener requiring no inlet section. Pressure and dew point measurement available as an option; easy set-up via Bluetooth and the CS SensorApp.
Venturi measuring section with flange for flow rate and reference measurements, available in nominal diameters from 25 to 200. Measures volume flow, pressure and temperature in humid, non-condensing or dry compressed air; industrial gases subject to specification.
Insertion flow meters for existing pipework: nominal diameter 15 to 1000, depending on shaft length; larger diameters available on request. Pressure-rated versions up to 50 bar. Installation and removal under pressure via a ½-inch ball valve, either stationary or mobile. Integrated pressure measurement optional.
Calibrated unit comprising a flow sensor and measuring tube for distribution pipes and consumers: nominal diameter 8 to 80, threaded or with a flange. The sensor can be removed for cleaning or recalibration; the measuring section remains installed. Integrated pressure measurement is available as an option.
Robust insertion flow meter for compressed air, industrial gases and fuel gases such as natural gas. Cleanable stainless steel sensor tip and aluminium housing. Pressure ratings up to 50 bar; special version up to 100 bar. Integrated pressure measurement and ATEX/IECEx or DVGW versions available as options.
Robust thermal flow meter with a cleanable stainless steel sensor tip and integrated measuring section for stationary consumption measurement. Suitable for compressed air, industrial gases and fuel gases such as natural gas. Integrated pressure measurement and ATEX/IECEx or DVGW versions available as options.
Differential pressure insertion type sensor for efficiency measurement and flow rate measurement in compressors, as well as for compressed air audits. Suitable for moist compressed air downstream of the water separator, dry compressed air and suitable gases; versions available up to 180 °C. Integrated pressure and temperature measurement.
For stationary differential pressure flow measurement in moist compressed air and industrial gases. Flow, consumption, pressure and temperature in a single unit; the sensor head can be detached from the integrated measuring section for calibration.
A measuring tube with a specified inner diameter, suitable inlet and outlet sections, and a ball valve for the insertion type sensor.
Retrofit a point of measurement to an existing pipe: Hot tapping saddle including ball valve for outside diameters of 32–335 mm, suitable for the pipe material and operating pressure. Other sizes available on request.
Tap into the prepared points of measurement via the ball valve in the correct manner under pressure – without interrupting production.
Additional safety measure for the installation and removal of suitable insertion type sensors at gauge pressures of 10 bar or more.
Measure the pipe wall thickness and use the outside diameter to determine the inner diameter – to ensure the flow measurement is correctly specified.
This Drilling jig can be used to set up a measuring site after welding on a 1/2" threaded socket and then installing a 1/2" Ball valve.
CS INSTRUMENTS GmbH’s products have been at the forefront of gas consumption measurement and flow measurement for many years. Customers all over the world value the professional support and innovative spirit that underpin our products. Through our international subsidiaries and a steadily growing, global sales and service network, we provide our customers with the latest measuring technology and ensure optimal all-round support. For a wide range of applications, we offer specially developed and tried-and-tested systems for consumption and flow measurement, which, when combined with our specially developed software solutions, are both uniquely effective and efficient.
A factory calibration certificate is always included with our instruments. ISO certificates, which are traceable to the National Standard, are also available as an option. Unlike many other measurement methods, the pressure loss caused by our flow measurement is negligible.
Each flow meter can be fitted with various interfaces, ensuring connection to your control systems, chart recorders or analysis units. These include, for example, 4–20 mA, pulse, Modbus RTU, M-Bus and Ethernet.
OurVA550 (insertion type) and VA570 (version with integrated measuring section)flow sensors have been developed specifically for harsh industrial environments. Thanks to their robust, impact-resistant die-cast aluminium housing, these flow sensors can, amongst other things, be installed outdoors (IP65) without any problems. We can also provide ATEX approval or DVGW approval on request.
Our volumetric flow sensors operate on various physical measuring principles, thereby enabling the precise measurement of volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate and standard volumetric flow rate for a wide range of gas applications. Each measuring principle offers specific advantages, providing the optimum solution for different requirements:
The vortex flow sensors (VU and VX) and the differential pressure sensors (VD series) are equipped with integrated temperature and pressure measurement, enabling the mass flow rate or standard volumetric flow rate to be calculated directly. This allows for simple installation in the pipeline without the need for an external flow calculator.
Standard volume is a unit of volume measurement that enables the comparison of gas volumes at different pressures and temperatures. On all our sensors, the reference conditions can be flexibly set via the graphic display to show standard volumetric flow rates in accordance with common standards (ISO 1217 for compressed air and DIN 1343 for industrial gases). This ensures a reliable, standards-compliant consumption reading.
As well as flow measurement, our sensors can also be used to measure leakage rates. This provides users with insights into potential energy savings. The insertion-type sensor is the ideal flow meter for existing compressed air and gas pipework and can be easily fitted and removed whilst under pressure using a ½” ball valve. The flow sensor is available with various shaft lengths and can also be installed in very large pipes (> nominal diameter 1000 mm) or rectangular ducts.
