Warning - Read this first
Compressed gasses can be dangerous!
Please familiarize yourself with the
forces under pressurized conditions. Respect the local guidelines and regulations
for working with pressurized equipment.
Gas flow through pipes follows certain physical laws.
These physical laws
have serious consequences for the installation requirements. Familiarize yourself
with the basic physical laws of flow measurement, to make sure that the product is
installed correctly. Always make sure that upstream length, downstream length,
flow, pressure, temperature and humidity conditions are within specifications.
Precision instruments need maintenance.
Check your flow meter regularly and
make sure it remains clean. When polluted, gently clean the sensor using de-
mineralised water or cleaning alcohol.
Precision instruments need regular re-calibration.
To keep your
VPFlowScope probe in best shape, it needs recalibration. We advice annual
recalibration.
Not intended for fiscal metering or billing.
Our flow meters are not certified for
fiscal metering. Laws on fiscal metering and billing may vary per country or state.
Do not overestimate the results. VPInstruments does not take any
responsibility for the correctness of measurement results under field
conditions.
The practical measurement uncertainty of a flow meter in the field may
vary, depending on how well it is installed, due to the nature of gas flow. The piping
table provides guidelines on how to optimize the field accuracy. Our products are
not intended to be used as a single means to determine compressor capacity.
Do not open the device.
Our instruments are assembled with high precision.
Opening this device is dangerous and may destroy the instruments. Warranty is
voided when you open the instrument.
