AVL PLUtron features wide media compatibility with fuels, test fluids, water and even urea solutions. Flexible interfaces, such as CAN Bus and an optional handheld display facilitate flow meter adaptation for different tasks in every testing environment throughout the whole engineering and development process.
With its high level of robustness against vibration and shock, its extended temperature range, and IP67 protection class, the AVL PLUtron enables dynamic fuel consumption measurement even in harsh close-to-engine environment. Smart sensor control and advanced self-diagnostics ensure simple startup and reliable operation.
- Highest measurement uncertainty of ≤ 0.1 % of reading at data rates up to 100 Hz
- No influence on unit-under-test (Δp=0)
- Increased reliability under rough conditions thanks to robust design and long-term stable calibration
- Direct mass flow output - density measurement with incorporated density meter
- Unique plug-and-play usability for workflow optimization
- Higher flexibility due to large measuring ranges with high resolution, accuracy, and extended temperature ranges
- Reduced test time in component production at affordable cost of ownership

In-vehicle Testing
In-vehicle testing on gasoline vehicles, such as passenger cars or motorcycles, in UREA and water applications, where robustness against pressure pulsation and vibration is an increasingly important feature in order to provide reliable results.
Close-to-engine applications
Close-to-engine applications have very demanding requirements, such as a high data rate in combination with highest dynamics and robustness. This high dynamic and robust measurement capability ensures reproducible measurements of consumption flow even in pulsating flow conditions.
End-of-line testing
End-of-line testing in component production is a demanding field of application. PLUtron increases testbed efficiency with faster stabilization and shorter measurement times.
Generic flow meter applications
Generic flow meter applications on testbeds and in the lab, such as durability testing or HC- and SCR-dosing system characterization, profit most from flexible interfaces and simple setup supported by intelligent self-diagnostics.
