Portable measuring instruments offer the advantage of being able to perform precise measurements in the field or directly in the plant without permanent installations. From compressed air and fluid handling to process industries and energy control, portable instruments help companies quickly detect anomalies, optimize operations and ensure that technical systems deliver as expected.
Versatile portable measuring instruments: flow, air quality & dew point
Common portable instruments include:
-
Portable flowmeters - for liquids and gases
-
Ultrasonic flow meter - sensors are mounted outside pipes, ideal for temporary measurements
-
Portable mass flow meters and calibration units - for high precision, even in laboratory and small pipe systems from Alicat Scientific
SUTO S520 - portable dew point meter
SUTO S520 is a smart, portable dew point meter developed for air and gases. With a unique measuring chamber and integrated parking function, it delivers fast and efficient results. Thanks to an advanced internal algorithm, it predicts the dew point level without having to wait for the measurement. In addition, it has a built-in 5 MP camera, making it easy to document measurement locations and insert images into reports - perfect for servicing compressed air networks.
