gas-net F1

The gas-net F1 is an electronic flow computer for natural and industrial gases with an integrated data logger. The device can be combined with various intrinsically safe or explosion-proof pressure transmitters and temperature sensors.
The gas-net F1 is able to correct up to three streams with one or two flow directions per stream.
