So easy

VA40/WIM – proven variable area measuring device,

now with an electrical measuring signal
Since 1921 KROHNE has listened to the process requirements of its
customers and as a result, time and again has set new standards in flow
measurement using variable area technology.

The newest member of the variable area family is the VA40/WIM. A simple
flow rate indicator combined with an electrical measuring signal.

For the first time, the proven advantages of the VA series, such as local
indication allowing the measured value to be read as soon as the meter is
installed and the ability to perform a visual check of the medium have
been combined with an electrical output signal in one device. This means
that the VA40/WIM can now also be connected to a recording or control unit.

And all of this comes with a price-performance ratio that pays for itself!

VA40/WIM with 4…20mA analogue signal

 Fully universal Electrical output signal for recording
and control purposes New!
Whether you are measuring gases or liquids, flowrates of 1 or several
thousand litres per hour – VA40 variable area flowmeters are fully Technical data
universal. They have been used for decades to indicate and monitor
flowrates in all types of basic applications (up to max. 10bar / 145psi Signal 4…20mA
operating pressure and +100°C / +212°F product temperature). Power supply 14…30Vdc
Technology 2-wire
Sample applications:
