Precise flow measurements are crucial for maintaining efficiency, safety, and productivity in industrial applications.
Kytola’s VA Smart variable area flow meters with mA output are at the forefront of this technology, offering a robust solution for applications that demand both on-site visual readings and remote monitoring capabilities.
Let’s explore what makes these variable flow meters stand out and how they can transform your flow measurement processes.
What are VA Smart Variable Area Flow Meters?
VA Smart flow meters are advanced measuring instruments designed to provide accurate and reliable flow data for liquids and gases. These devices combine the traditional benefits of Kytola Smart flow meters with modern electronic output, offering a dual approach to flow monitoring.
Key Features and Benefits
- Double verification of flow rate: One of the standout features of VA Smart flow meters is their ability to provide both visual readings on-site and a 4-20 mA signal to control rooms. This dual approach ensures operators always have access to critical flow data, enhancing safety and process control.
- Non-intrusive sensing: Unlike some flow meter designs, VA Smart meters have no sensors in direct contact with the fluid. This allows industrial facilities to record consistently reliable measurements and reduce maintenance and upkeep.
- Durability: Engineered to withstand demanding industrial environments, these flow meters offer dependable performance even in challenging conditions.
- Easy upgrades: Existing Kytola flow meters can be easily upgraded to VA Smart versions without requiring changes to piping, minimising downtime and installation costs.
- Customisation: Kytola manufactures these flow meters with customised scales tailored to real operating conditions, ensuring optimal performance for your specific application.
