VP Instruments

VP Instruments is the global leader in compressed air flow measurement, offering the VPFlowScope family of insertion and inline flow meters for compressed air, nitrogen, and industrial gas monitoring. Emergent Metering partners with VP Instruments to deliver compressed air monitoring solutions that identify waste, quantify leak loads, and optimize compressor efficiency.

Studies consistently show that 25–30% of compressed air produced in manufacturing facilities is wasted — primarily through leaks, artificial demand from over-pressurization, and inefficient controls. At typical compressed air costs of $0.25–$0.30 per 1,000 SCF, the financial impact is substantial. VPFlowScope meters provide the real-time flow, pressure, and temperature data needed to identify and quantify these losses.

The VPFlowScope In-Line meter measures flow, pressure, and temperature in a single device for pipe sizes up to 2". The VPFlowScope Probe is an insertion-style meter for larger pipes, installing through a single drilled port without system shutdown. Both meters output 4-20mA, Modbus, and pulse signals for integration with energy dashboards and data acquisition servers. The VPFlowScope M start kit provides everything needed for a first compressed air audit — meter, display, logging software, and mounting hardware.
