Worldflow™ Volume VI: Worldwide Survey of Flowmeter Users
Flow Research and Ducker Worldwide have recently released six worldwide flowmeter studies. Volumes I through IV are individual studies on New Technology flowmeters:
- Volume I: The World Market for Coriolis Flowmeters
- Volume II: The World Market for Magnetic Flowmeters
- Volume III: The World Market for Ultrasonic Flowmeters
- Volume IV: The World Market for Vortex Flowmeters
- Volume V: The World Market for New Technology Flowmeters
New Technology flowmeters share several characteristics. First, they have been introduced in the last fifty years. Second, they incorporate technological advances that avoid some of the problems inherent in earlier flowmeters. Third, they are more the focus of new product development efforts by the major flowmeter suppliers than Traditional Technology meters. Fourth, their performance, including criteria such as accuracy, is at a higher level than that of traditional technology meters.
Volume VI, which is described here, is entitled as follows:

Volume VI: Worldwide Survey of Flowmeter Users
To
create this volume, we translated our 14-page questionnaire into French,
German, Chinese, and Japanese. We
then interviewed users by phone in North America, Europe, and Asia: 100 from
each region. In Europe, we
interviewed users in Germany, France, and the UK.
In Asia, we interviewed users in China, Japan, and Singapore.
This volume includes a total worldwide analysis, as well as an analysis
by region. It answers questions
like the following ones:
- How quickly are Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus being adopted in North America, Europe, and Asia?
- Which geographic region reports the highest percent of flowmeters for measuring water?
- Which type of flowmeter makes up the largest percentage of the installed base of flowmeters in North America? In Europe? In Asia?
- What percent of flowmeters by type are used to measure gas vs. steam vs. liquid in each geographic region?
-
What
criteria do users consider most important when selecting each type of
flowmeter? - What New Technology meters are replacing Traditional Technology meters and why?
- What do users project by region in terms of flowmeter purchases by type of meter?
