Domestic flow meters or imported flow meters? ?

Thread Content

Before intelligent manufacturing and 5G were put into commercial use, imported brand mass flow meters accounted for a large proportion in usage. 　　Specifically, there is a relatively high number of imported brand mass flow meters, particularly those designed for small-diameter gas streams, in use. They are widely applied in the petrochemical industry; meanwhile, they are also used to a significant extent in industries such as pharmaceuticals, as well as in production sectors involved in the processing of beverages and food. Although the number of such devices is not large, their significance is considerable. Why do they choose quality mass flow meters from imported brands? 　　In recent years, gas mass flow meters of small diameter among the quality flow meters of imported brands have seen rapid development in China. 　　Intelligent equipment manufacturing, and the commercialization of 5G, present development opportunities for domestically produced mass flow meters installed in China ； The quality flowmeters of imported brands are mainly products from companies such as Brooks and EPI. The main reason is the constraints associated with calibration devices; there are relatively few manufacturers in China that produce large-diameter gas mass flow meters, which leads to a high dependence on imported brands of such products. However, this trend has been showing a downward direction in recent years. 　　As for liquid mass flowmeters, their technology is complex, the payback period is long, and progress has been relatively slow. Although many research institutions have worked on developing this product, the manufacturers have not yet scaled up production, and the output remains limited. However, as the demand for this product continues to rise, the production capacity of domestic manufacturers has also increased, resulting in a significant rise in the amount produced domestically. The current status of domestically produced liquid vortex flowmeters: In China, domestic brands of liquid mass flowmeters are widely used in fields such as petrochemicals and building materials for measurement and control purposes. However, when it comes to the overall production capacity for manufacturing mass flowmeters on a large scale, the gap between domestic manufacturers and those abroad is evident in the following aspects: ① The performance of raw materials is inconsistent; for example, in Coriolis mass flowmeters, the performance requirements of domestic raw materials vary, and in some cases their quality is inferior to that of foreign counterparts ； ②It is that the level of production automation in the country is relatively low. Filling system: For liquid mass flow meters, given their broad application prospects, it is necessary to intensify the development of domestic liquid mass flow meters. Although there is a significant difference between production technologies for liquid mass flow meters and filling systems in China and those abroad, since the commercialization of 5G, China has made efforts in terms of patents, copyrights, and intellectual property rights. I believe that China will achieve major technological breakthroughs in the production of liquid mass flow meters, and it is only a matter of time before domestic mass flow meters catch up with foreign ones in terms of performance and technical specifications. So the question is, if you need to purchase a mass flow meter, would you prefer one made in China or one from an imported brand?
