CS Instruments VU 570 Vortex Ultrasonic Flow Sensor for Gases

Description

CS Instruments VU 570 Vortex Ultrasonic Flow Sensor represents a significant step forward in industrial flow monitoring. Unlike traditional sensors that are often limited to specific media, the VU 570 is engineered to handle the complexities of modern industrial applications where gas compositions may vary. By utilizing advanced vortex ultrasonic technology, this device offers a robust solution for recording consumption data, which is the first step toward reducing waste and increasing overall sustainability.

This sensor is specifically designed to eliminate the need for multiple measuring devices. whether you are monitoring standard technical gases or complex mixed gases, the VU 570 delivers reliable performance. Its ability to adapt to different media types makes it a cost-effective and low-maintenance choice for facility managers and engineers who demand accuracy and flexibility in their instrumentation.

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.
