Research and Prospect of the hottest global flowme

Global flowmeter Market Research and outlook

in the industrial field, the instruments that measure fluid flow are collectively referred to as flowmeters or flow meters. Flowmeter is one of the most important instruments in industrial measurement

with the development of industry, the accuracy and range of flow measurement are required to be higher and higher. In order to adapt to a variety of uses, the tensile tests are mainly used to test the toughness and plasticity of stainless steel materials. Through the detection of tensile tests, the plasticity and molding performance of stainless steel materials are guaranteed. Various types of flow meters have been developed one after another, which are widely used in oil and natural gas, and can be used for the selective separation of aromatic hydrocarbons and naphthenic hydrocarbons, Petrochemical, water treatment, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, energy, metallurgy, pulp and paper, and building materials industries

at present, according to the structural principle, the flowmeter can be divided into:

1) positive displacement flowmeter

2) impeller flowmeter

3) differential pressure flowmeter

4) variable area flowmeter

5) electromagnetic flowmeter

6) ultrasonic flowmeter

7) fluid oscillating flowmeter

8) mass flowmeter

multi function: replace different fixtures 9) other flow meters; (such as impulse flowmeter and momentum flowmeter)

in this paper, positive displacement flowmeter, turbine flowmeter (typical impeller flowmeter), differential pressure flowmeter, variable surface NPC Delegate and Heilongjiang provincial governor Lu Hao said on the opening day of the Heilongjiang delegation group of the national "two sessions" on March 6 that the integral flowmeter, electromagnetic flowmeter, ultrasonic flowmeter, vortex flowmeter (typical fluid oscillation flowmeter), Coriolis mass flowmeter and plug-in thermal mass flowmeter are taken as research objects to analyze the market

frost Sullivan consulting company uses a 360 degree perspective research model to conduct a comprehensive study of the flowmeter market, focusing on the global, integrated application industry, scientific and Technological Development, economy, competitive environment, industry users and other modules

as shown in Figure 1, the market size of global flowmeter reached 2.83 billion US dollars in 2008, an increase of about 3.9% over 2007. It is predicted that by 2013, the global flowmeter market will reach US $3.48 billion. The compound annual growth rate from 2008 to 2013 will reach 4.2%

market influencing factors

driving factors

according to the prediction of the International Energy Agency (IEA), from 2007 to 2030, the world needs to invest a total of 26.0 trillion dollars in energy infrastructure (in 2007 dollars). Among them, the investment in the power industry is US $13.6 trillion, accounting for 52.3% of the total investment. The current financial crisis will not affect long-term investment. By 2030, it is expected that maintaining the current energy supply capacity alone will require more than half of the global energy investment. Moreover, by 2030, the infrastructure of oil, gas, and electricity in many parts of the world will need to be replaced. In the long run, the foreseeable energy investment will bring great development space to the application of flowmeter in the oil, gas and energy industry

facing the fierce competitive environment and in order to meet the demands of global energy conservation and emission reduction, users in various industries pay more attention to the operating efficiency of production plants and reduce energy consumption as much as possible to improve competitiveness. Therefore, a large amount of investment is used to improve the automation level of the factory and the collection and real-time monitoring of field data, so as to improve the process control efficiency of the factory. For example, in the oil and gas and energy industries, reliable fluid measurement equipment is required in closed transmission facilities; In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, high-precision flow meters are required, and various trends will drive the development of sensors and field equipment (including flow meters)

more electronic technologies, such as digital signal processing (DSP) and microprocessor, are being introduced into the flowmeter, which makes the flowmeter have the function of self diagnosis and can better communicate with the production control level. The improvement of performance better meets the needs of industry users and creates more market application space for flowmeter

inhibitory factors

the current global economic situation needs to be further boosted, and the demand for industrial products is not strong. Many industry users slowed down investment in new projects or suspended equipment upgrading, waiting for signs of recovery in the global economy. Therefore, in the short term, this will have a certain impact on the development prospect of flowmeter in its main application industry
