VNSCompact Electromagnetic Flow Sensors

VNS Photo

Model VNS is the electromagnetic flow sensor that is compact and does not require any straight pipe length so that it can be easily built in the machines and systems. Chemical solutions including sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda, etc., can be measured. Due to its excellent small flow-rate measurement and repeatability, it has merits in various applications such as water purification plant, distribution reservoir, sterilization system, factory’s wastewater treatment, etc.

Liquid flow measurement application examples
of various machines in wide range of usage fields.
