Air Meters testo 645x Series – High Accuracy Measurement of Compressed Air
Published on : Friday 01-07-2022
The all new compressed air meters from Testo are suitable for pipe mounting, compatible with all common diameters, says Piyush Patel.
In industrial companies, compressed air is an important source of energy which incurs high consumption costs. For various industrial applications and operations, compressed air is an important source of energy that drives the entire process.
Be it a pharma facility, automotive, textile industry or a cement plant, efficient utilisation of compressed air is crucial. Air is free for everyone, but compressed air incurs high consumption costs, as a result of which proper measurement and optimisation of this fuel is must.
Compressed air can be used for conveying the material in the industry, for controllers and actuators, tool powering applications and even automating various types of equipment. In any such application, the presence of moisture in the compressed air can lead to system failures or inefficiencies. If the users are not aware of the compressed air management and measurement techniques, it can create annual monetary losses to the facility and wastage of the compressed air too.
The new compressed air meters testo 645x series can be of great advantage for such applications and even for compressor and drier manufactures or energy auditors. It can also be used for the targeted implementation of environmental management (as per ISO 50.001). This new series of compressed air meter can also be used to monitor leaks in your compressed air system and carry out a peak load analysis to determine whether you are generating compressed air of sufficient capacity. The newly developed “all-in-one sensor” not only records the compressed air consumption and the temperature, but pressure too. This eliminates the need for you to carry out a separate pressure measurement. Compressed air meters in the new testo 645X series use the calorimetric measuring principle.
In short, these meters enable you to measure compressed air consumption with a high degree of accuracy, at the same time save energy and reduce costs.
