VPInstruments Upgrades VPFlowScope M: Higher Accuracy and Greater Flexibility for Gas Measurement

13 Aug 2026  |
VPInstruments introduces a powerful new firmware upgrade for the VPFlowScope M all-in-one flow meter. The latest release significantly improves measurement accuracy, expands multi-gas capabilities, and adds new functionality for even more flexibility in the field. Simultaneously, VPInstruments launches VPStudio 4.1 with enhanced tools for configuration and data readout.

For plant managers, energy managers, and compressed air specialists, accurate flow data is the foundation for reducing energy costs and making the right investment decisions. With this upgrade, the VPFlowScope M delivers even greater confidence in compressed air and industrial gas measurements.

VPFlowScope M. One sensor. Complete system insight. 

The VPFlowScope M is designed to measure the complete compressed air system, from compressor room to machine level. The sensor measures bi-directional flow, pressure, temperature, and total flow simultaneously, giving users real-time insight into system performance and energy consumption. With the optional built-in data logger, the VPFlowScope M is ideal for both permanent monitoring and temporary air audits. 

What’s new? 

The latest firmware and VPStudio 4.1 introduce several major improvements: 

  • Higher measurement accuracy across the full operating range
    Enhanced signal processing and upgraded calibration methods at VPInstruments proprietary calibration lab. Providing even more reliable measurement data for audits, monitoring, and energy-saving projects.
  • Multi-gas flexibility in one device
    Configure up to 3 gas correction factors in a single instrument. One VPFlowScope M can now support applications with compressed air, CO₂, argon, and other technical gases. 
  • More insight beyond the calibrated range
    The new selectable flow cutoff and extended indication range help users detect abnormal or transient conditions that would otherwise remain unnoticed. 
  • Bi-directional calibration report 
    Bi-directional VPFlowScope M’s are now delivered with a dedicated bi-directional calibration report. Ensuring measurement accuracy across the full operating range in both flow directions. 

Upgrade during your next service moment 

The VPFlowScope M features the unique VPSensorCartridge concept. Instead of removing and shipping the entire flow meter for recalibration, users simply replace the sensor cartridge. That means faster servicing, minimal downtime, and an easy way to benefit from the latest firmware improvements during the next maintenance cycle. And on top of it, your product becomes better over its entire lifetime thanks to feature updates and hardware improvements.
