Flow measurement is a key activity in life sciences such as biotechnology, medical, pharmaceutical and health care. For example, in medical care, anaesthesia, cardiology, intravenous infusion, kidney dialysis and many other aspects of medicine require metering. The reasons may vary; the required precision may vary but a good understanding of the metering process remains central to proper diagnosis and safe treatment. This sector is very demanding market when it comes to the specification of instrumentation.
Typical life sciences flow applications include: purified water metering; mixing in intravenous infusions; dosing and monitoring of medicines; pill coater air flow monitoring; CIP and SIP flow and temperature monitoring.
