Intelligent solutions for accurate flow measurement for compressed air and gases
The new affordable flow meters VA 420 work according to the approved thermal
mass flow principle. As a result actual mass flow or standard volumetric flow is
measured and displayed without the need of temperature or pressure compensation. |

Research shows that 70% of contaminants (by weight) in oil are between 0.1 & 1um.
The primary source of contamination of oil is due to oxidization of the particles in the oil. If you remove the small particles and the water then you will virtually eliminate oxidation. |
