Benefits of proper setup

Properly setting up an air flow meter offers several benefits, including:

Accurate data

Proper setup helps ensure that you will get precise air flow measurements. 

Energy efficiency

Accurate, real-time data assists you with detecting leaks and other problems that cause your facility to use more compressed air or natural gas than necessary. 

Cost savings

Reducing downtime and maintenence resources, along with utilizing fewer resources, cut costs and reduce expenses for a facility.

Increased safety

Compressed air leaks, and esepcially nautral gas leaks, are dangerous for workers in your facility. A properly-installed flow alerts you to even the smallest leaks. This process enables you to address these concerns before they gget worse or cause an injury.
