The expansion will create a flow meter calibration center to test and calibrate ultrasonic and coriolis flow meters. The project will be operational in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Tim Povall, general manager of measurement solutions at GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies, said: “The calibration center in Odelzhausen is a symbol of our investment in and commitment to expanding our global infrastructure, providing high-tech products and services for our customers.”
GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies acquired Rheonik in 2008, expanding its flow meter portfolio to include coriolis technology. The meters measure flow from 0.5 grams per minute to 1,500 tons per hour. Rheonik’s products serve high-pressure applications and can operate with relatively large amplitudes.
