Source: ExairNew pressure sensing digital flowmeters from Exair offer plant personnel a method for monitoring pressure throughout a compressed air system along with flow.

A pressure sensor is located between two flow sensing probes and the display can be programmed to show air flow or pressure. Additionally, a transistor output can also be programmed to trigger a low-pressure alarm to protect processes and equipment.

Compressed air measurements are the first step to identifying high compressed air use regions, compressed air leaks and how to optimize air use.

The pressure sensing feature is available on 2 in and 50 mm or larger flowmeters and in standard units that display airflow values on LED screens, with an optional data logger to capture and manipulate data. The pressure signal is also available through wired and wireless serial outputs. Airflow values are expressed in standard cubic feet per minute or cubic meters per hour.
