DETAIL
Leakage outside production
A permanently high basic consumption during breaks, at night or on weekends shows leaking nets, open valves or unconnected consumers.

Why monitor?
What this parameter reveals about your compressed air station.
Flow rate shows when and where compressed air is consumed. Together with electrical power, pressure and production data, it distinguishes necessary process demand from avoidable losses.
DETAIL
Unusual consumption peaks
Short or recurring peaks can indicate blow-off processes, impulsive large consumers, incorrect operation or an unfavorably dimensioned memory.
DETAIL
Inefficient compressed air generation
If the energy input increases at the same amount of air, excessively high pressure, inappropriate compressor combinations or technical problems worsen the specific performance.
In practice
Choose the right measurement for dry and wet compressed air.
Insertion and inline sensors are suitable for treated compressed air. Directly after the compressor, upstream of the dryer, condensing moisture requires a suitable differential pressure method. The ranges below relate to the versions shown.
Insertion sensor
For large pipe diameters; the version shown can be installed under pressure through a ball valve. Observe the manufacturer’s straight inlet and outlet requirements.
- Up to 12 inches / DN 300
- Up to 23,307.68 cfm
- Up to 725.19 psi
Inline flow sensor
For small pipes and individual consumers. The version shown requires no additional straight inlet or outlet runs.
- From 1/4 inch: 0–25 l/min
- Up to 2 inches: 0–854.61 cfm
Differential pressure sensor for wet compressed air
Measures differential pressure at the probe tip. Pipe diameter, temperature and absolute pressure are used to determine flow, including upstream of the dryer.
- Suitable for condensing moisture
- Assess the delivery performance of individual compressors
