How Should Flow Calibration Equipment Manufacturers Strategize?

“Integration of Electronic Flow Calibration Devices to Create Market Opportunities

A lot of equipment is manually operated and are limited in their features. Old calibration methods were known as the 'Bucket and Stopwatch' system. However, owing to a dynamic shift, industrial technologies are also changing at a much faster pace than anticipated.

With the advent of computerized electronic devices, the flow calibration equipment industry is also integrating this technology and shifting from traditional to modern smart devices. Smart and digitally-connected operation facilities employ advanced technologies such as AI and IoT, and are connected through wireless networks.

With increasing customer inclination towards accuracy and precision, the sale of smart and digital technology-based flow calibration equipment has increased, thus driving application opportunities for flow calibration equipment.

“Industry 4.0 & 5.0 Trend to Provide Inevitable Boost to Innovation”

Increasing focus on technology implementation along with digital enablement using AI and machine learning reflect a new generation transformation mindset for effective cost management.

From HVAC to electronics and jet engines, it takes a lot of energy to power our daily lives. For this, next-generation technology based on IR4.0 and IR 5.0, with an energy-efficient standard that helps reduce operational costs by integrating technology such as a self-cleaning systems, will certainly boost demand for flow calibration systems.

Responding to the growing need for flow meter calibration equipment that can overcome many shortcomings, many manufacturers have started integrating new technologies in calibration, such as Sound Acoustic Wave (SAW).

“Recalibration Frequency and Turnaround Time to Provide Ample Scope for Growth”

Based on this Fact.MR study, every flow meter has to be recalibrated after 1 to 2 years of service for accurate and precise results in operations. There are no established standards for the recalibration frequency, but they are recalibrated at the time of yearly maintenance.

With the integration of advanced technologies in calibration services, the turnaround time for calibration of flow meters has come down to 24 hrs from 2 to 3 days. This provides ample amount of scope for the flow calibration equipment demand growth in the forecast period.

How is Flow Calibration Equipment Market Growth Being Impeded?

“Rising Price Complexity to Affect Sales of Flow Calibration Equipment”

One of the potential restraints for flow meter calibration device consumption is the high production cost and unavailability of key raw materials, thereby resulting in price complexity. This is because flow meter calibration equipment costs more to produce and is manufactured using costly material that has higher life.

Additionally the material is more durable and tolerant to environmental effects. Materials such as nickel carbide, ceramics, aluminum, brass, and PVDF are limited in availability in the market. Also getting certifications from different countries can be costly, and that’s why flow calibration equipment does tend to cost more.

An average flow calibration system costs around US$ 5,000 - US$ 7,000. This is where research can be important to overcome this restraint, aiding manufacturers to enjoy higher unit sales and profit margins.
