In today’s fast-paced industrial environments, precise, reliable, and durable air and gas velocity measurement is more critical than ever. Whether monitoring cleanroom airflow in pharmaceutical production or ensuring optimal conditions in metal additive manufacturing, accuracy and longevity directly impact process reliability and operational costs. The AVS701 air and gas velocity sensor is engineered to meet these demands, offering robust construction, accurate measurement, and simplified installation for a wide range of industrial applications.
The AVS701 is designed for industrial users, addressing challenges such as harsh environmental conditions, fluctuating ambient pressures, and the need for rapid deployment.
Exceptional Durability The high-end ceramic sensing element is protected by a stainless steel probe head and specialized coating. This construction supports stable measurement results under corrosive or extreme conditions and extends sensor lifespan up to 20 times longer than conventional alternatives. | Highly Accurate Measurements With a measurement range of 0–40 m/s (0–8,000 ft/min) and a temperature range of -40 to +140 °C (-40 to +284 °F), the AVS701 delivers precise data across diverse applications. | Process Reliability An integrated process gas library enables adaptation to different gases, including air, nitrogen, CO₂, and argon, supporting correct calibration for each use case. |
Pressure Compensation An optional external pressure sensor compensates for variations in ambient pressure, supporting consistent measurement results as environmental conditions change. | Simplified Installation Integrated sensor positioning enables quick setup, reducing installation time by up to 60% compared with traditional sensors. | Reduced Lifecycle Costs The robust design minimizes downtime caused by maintenance or replacement, helping reduce total cost of ownership. |
Thanks to its versatility and resilience, the AVS701 is suited to a broad range of industrial processes where air or gas flow must be monitored with high precision.
Metal Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) Accurate monitoring of process gases that are crucial for optimal print quality. | HVAC Controls Monitoring incoming and outgoing air for efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning management. |
Cleanroom & Laboratory Environments Filter monitoring and laminar flow control in environments where contamination must be avoided. | Pharmaceutical & Food Processing Monitoring exhausts, fume hoods, and glove boxes where reliable airflow measurement is important for safety and compliance. |
Combustion Control Systems Measurement of supply-air volumetric flow to maintain safe combustion parameters. | Air Conveying Systems Monitoring airflow to support proper movement of materials through pneumatic systems. |
Wind Tunnels & Climate Simulators Accurate air velocity data for research and development applications. |

Proper installation supports measurement accuracy and sensor longevity. The AVS701 offers flexible mounting options, with several important installation practices to consider:
01 Install the probe in the middle of the duct at a position with regular, non-turbulent flow. | 02 Avoid turbulent areas immediately after fans, bends, junctions, or diameter changes. When possible, position the sensor at least six duct diameters downstream from such disturbances. | 03 The preferred position is after a filter or before diffusers, where air velocity is highest. |
The AVS701 air and gas velocity sensor combines accurate measurement, robust construction, straightforward installation, and adaptability for applications ranging from pharmaceutical production and cleanrooms to HVAC, combustion control, and metal additive manufacturing.
