How do I find the right flowmeter? Which flow measurement method is the right one for my process?


Are you looking for the right flowmeter for your measuring task? As a manufacturer of flowmeters based on various measurement methods, we are happy to support you with our expertise in this search.

Before selecting the specific device series, the most suitable measurement method must first be determined. Should the volume flow, the standard volume or the mass be measured? What is the medium to be measured and what are its specific properties, such as physical state, density and conductivity?

The following overview provides some key data to help you decide which flow measurement method to choose. Our flow experts will be happy to contact you to offer support. Alternatively, you can describe your measuring task so we can test it and select an appropriate measurement device.
