Measurement & Control Instruments
.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?
Measurement and control instrument suppliers provide devices that monitor and regulate process variables such as pressure, temperature, flow, and level, typically integrated into control loops and process automation systems. The suppliers below manufacture, distribute, or integrate instrumentation for continuous process monitoring and control across European industry.
What Measurement & Control Instruments suppliers provide
Suppliers in this category cover pressure, temperature, flow, and level instrumentation, along with the transmitters, controllers, and recorders used to feed this data into a control system. Their core competence lies in continuous, in-process monitoring and regulation of process variables, as distinct from one-off dimensional checks or laboratory analysis. Typical applications include process plant instrumentation, HVAC control, and monitoring of tanks, pipelines, and machinery. This category is distinct from Detection & Sensing Devices, which identifies the presence of a substance or condition rather than measuring a continuous variable, and from Metrology & Precision Measurement, which covers dimensional measurement. In the pre-selection phase, compare which process variables, measurement ranges, and communication protocols a supplier’s instruments support, and which industries they typically serve.
Relevant standards
Instrument enclosures are commonly rated for ingress protection under IEC 60529, and instruments used in potentially explosive atmospheres must comply with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU or IECEx certification internationally. Instrumentation used in safety-related control functions may need to meet IEC 61508 for functional safety. Supplier quality management is commonly certified to ISO 9001.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a measurement instrument and a detection device?
Measurement and control instruments provide a continuous reading of a process variable, such as pressure or flow, for use in control loops. Detection devices instead signal the presence or absence of a substance or condition.
