Direct Mass Flow Measurement
Product Description
Manas manufactures, supplies and exports Compact Air Flow Meters and air flow meters for industrial compressed air measurement. These instruments help plants monitor consumption, identify wastage and understand how compressed air is being used across machines, lines and departments.
The meter is designed for direct mass flow measurement, helping compressed air users monitor flow without separate pressure or temperature compensation. It is a practical fit for consumption tracking, leakage identification, compressor testing and energy management programs.
Why Measure Compressed Air?
Compressed air is one of the costliest utilities in many industrial facilities, and leaks are often invisible until they show up as higher energy expenditure.
With accurate compressed air flow measurement, maintenance and energy teams can track total consumption, peak demand, productivity, expenditure and improvement opportunities across production areas.
The result is better visibility for compressor operation, machine-level usage, leak reduction work and plant-wide energy management.

Start with compressors, main headers and energy-intensive machines.
Operational Benefits
Compressed air is one of the costliest industrial utilities. Flow measurement helps teams track where air is used, when demand peaks and where expenditure can be reduced.
Leaks are difficult to see without data. A compressed air flow meter makes abnormal consumption visible across compressors, headers, machines and departments.
Flow data supports compressor testing, demand analysis and maintenance planning by showing total usage, peak consumption and operating trends.
Pulse, mA and RS485 output options help integrate compressed-air flow readings into dashboards, data loggers, PLCs and monitoring systems.
Industrial Applications
Use air flow meters at the points where consumption data can change daily decisions.
Track air demand at weaving, spinning and process machines to understand machine-level consumption.
Monitor compressed air usage in production lines, pneumatic tools and utility headers.
Identify unexpected flow during idle periods and prioritize leak inspection routes.
Use flow trends to evaluate compressor output, loading patterns and system demand.
Convert flow visibility into better energy-accounting and improvement planning.
Compare total and peak consumption across departments, shifts and production areas.
Working Principle
A thermal mass air flow meter measures air mass flow directly. Since the measurement is based on mass flow, the system does not require separate pressure and temperature compensation for compressed air monitoring.
This makes it useful for facility teams that need practical, repeatable readings for compressor performance, consumption allocation and leak reduction programs.
