The precise measurement of the actual flow rate provides the foundation for various analyses, documentations and decisions in connection with compressed air systems. Possible overloading (e.g. excessive air velocities) or malfunctions can be quickly and reliably detected and this permits economically optimized dimensioning of the plant components. Moreover, the exact allocation of consumption percentages to the different stages of production is of great value for making fact-based business management decisions. And not least, the flow rate measurement will indicate the loss of compressed air due to leakage. An important economic factor considering that every third compressor only runs to compensate for the loss of air! BEKO METPOINT FLM devices can be simply and quickly installed – even under pressure conditions. With its variety of interfaces it is easy to integrate into existing process control systems.
