Detect Compressed Air Leaks

The Metris sensor is designed to monitor compressed air systems to identify leakage areas to improve energy efficiencies. The Metris sensor can be mounted in a supply pipe to monitor one machine, or mounted in a plant zone to monitor several machines.

During machine operation, the sensor compares a machine’s ideal air consumption to the actual air consumption. Any difference in the two readings indicates an air leak. The Metris sensor is fitted with an integrated 1/2 inch or 1 inch diameter pipe for easy mounting and correct installation depth. The sensor’s 4-digit numeric display provides air consumption readings and features microprocessor-based pushbutton setup. Display options are SCFM (standard cubic feet/meter) SCFH (standard cubic feet/hour) and SCF (standard cubic feet/totalizer mode). The 24VDC unit provides three output options: switching, analog and pulse. List price for Metris sensor models ranges from $590 to $630.
