VPFlowScope In-line: point-of-use in-line flow meter
4-in-1 flow meter that mounts directly in the piping of a workstation, machine or branch: mass flow, pressure, temperature and totalized flow in a single device. Once total flow is known at the compressor room outlet, it answers the next question, who uses what: you set a reference flow per piece of equipment, and any drift, such as a leak inside a machine that nobody hears, stands out in the data. Three sizes (0.5, 1 and 2 in) cover 0.13 to 600 SCFM. Inlet and outlet tubing, NPT or BSP, is ordered separately.
From $1,800 CAD list prices, before taxes. Installation and shipping extra. Price subject to change without notice.

Frequently asked questions
- What is an in-line meter for, versus an insertion probe?
- The in-line mounts directly in the piping of a workstation or machine; it is ideal for point-of-use consumption and local leak detection. The insertion probe (VPFlowScope M or Probe) targets pipes over 2 in and the compressor room outlet.
- Which size should I choose?
- 0.5 in: 0.13 to 50 SCFM; 1 in: 0.54 to 150 SCFM; 2 in: 2.15 to 600 SCFM. Pick the size from the actual flow of the workstation, not from the existing pipe diameter. Onyx M3 confirms it at quoting.
- Are straight pipe runs required?
- Yes, roughly 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 downstream. Onyx M3 validates the location before ordering.
