Description
The C581Single stream Flow & Energy Computer flow and energy computer measures the actual flow, temperature and pressure and uses the IAPWS determinations or Water-Glycol tables to calculate the energy, mass and volumetric flow. The linearization enhances accuracy in any flow range. The large logging register contains all measured and calculated values. The robust IP66/67, Type4X aluminum field enclosure, withstands extreme weather and industrial conditions.
Our proven experience with instrumentation, international requirements and the focus on user-friendly operation are combined in the most robust, accurate and easy-to-use field mount Flow & Energy Computer on the market.
