CS Instruments VA 520 Thermal Mass Flow Meter For Flow Measurement

Description

CS Instruments VA 520 Thermal Mass Flow Meter For Flow Measurement is engineered to provide reliable data for energy management systems. Unlike portable units, the VA 520 is designed to be a permanently installed flow meter, ensuring continuous data acquisition for critical infrastructure.

By installing this sensor, facility managers can accurately monitor consumption levels across different areas of a plant. This capability is essential for creating accurate cost structures, as it allows for precise measurement for the billing purposes of individual consumers. Furthermore, the device helps in maintenance strategies by enabling operators to analyze leakages, identifying waste before it becomes a significant expense.

Brand

CS Instruments

CS Instruments GmbH & Co. KG with locations in 24955 Harrislee and 78052 Villingen-Schwenningen/ Tannheim, is managed by Dipl. Eng. (FH) Wolfgang Blessing as sole Managing Director.

CS Instruments GmbH was established in the year 2002 by Christian Schuldt and Wolfgang Blessing as equal shareholders/Managing Directors.

Wolfgang Blessing already was sound a specialist on the sector of compressed air technology resp. industrial measurement technology long before the establishment of CS Instruments GmbH in the year 2002. Prior to the foundation of CS Instruments GmbH Dipl. Ing. (FH) Wolfgang Blessing acted for more than 10 years as primarily responsible product manager for industrial measurement technology at a worldwide known manufacturer of measuring instruments for compressed air and gases in the Black Forest. The technical knowledge and experience matched with the long-term practical knowledge was the corner stone for the success of CS Instruments.
