Endress+Hauser’s production centres manufacture instruments and sensors in 11 countries, including the UK. Our UK Centre of Competence in Manchester supplies tailor-made solutions and bespoke engineering for temperature, flow and level measurement.
Our specialists offer a wealth of knowledge in design, procurement of materials, project management, manufacture and inspection of equipment destined for high-end applications around the globe.
Temperature engineering Our Centre of Competence has been designing and manufacturing temperature assemblies – including solid drilled thermowells and RTD assemblies – for over 35 years. Because of our wealth of experience, Endress+Hauser is considered one of the few competent global suppliers for critical temperature applications.
We design and manufacture assemblies with sensors and thermowells to internationally recognised standards in a wide range of materials, including ceramic, hastelloy, titanium, tantalum and all grades of stainless steel. Sensors are available in various configurations; we manufacture units from as small as 0.5mm in diameter up to 30-way multipoint assemblies for reactors and tanks.
Our speciality is the design and manufacture of highly complex bespoke engineered temperature solutions. Our expertise has been widely used for multipoint temperature measurement devices including semi-flexible coaxial multipoint and 3D vessel profile multipoint.
Flow engineering Complementing our existing flow portfolio of electromagnetic, Coriolis, vortex and thermal meters, Endress+Hauser UK manufactures a range of primary devices from orifice plates and orifice carriers to flow nozzles and Venturi tubes – all designed and manufactured in accordance with BS EN ISO 5167. Further to these standardised primary devices, we also offer averaging pitot tubes.
The square-edged orifice plate is one of our most popular low-cost flow measurement solutions. It can be used for general purpose flow measurement and is economical, easy to install and versatile. The scope of supply can include the plate, carrier, flanges, accessories or the full metering run.
Flow nozzles machined from a single forging can be provided for metering high velocities, high temperatures and high pressures, including superheated steam.
The Venturi tube, either machined from solid metal or fabricated from rolled plate metal, can be provided for reliable flow measurement with the additional benefit of low pressure loss and minimal upstream piping requirements. It is used extensively in arduous metering applications such as those found in subsea processes, where space and energy conservation is at a premium.
Pitot tubes fabricated from tubing can be retrofitted to existing pipelines and ducting, providing a repeatable, cost-effective solution within larger pipe diameters with negligible of pressure loss. Pitot tubes are ideal for applications with short upstream and downstream lengths.
Accessories such as valves, manifolds, condensate pots and panels are available with the differential pressure measuring cell to complete the volumetric flow metering solution. We also offer a mass flow solution by supplying static pressure and temperature measurements together with a flow computer.
Level solutions We offer a bespoke design service using standard or exotic materials to manufacture level accessories such as:
• Bridles
• Stilling wells
• Dry wells
• Bypass chambers
all in accordance with PED and piping requirements.
Our extensive level product range spans a wealth of different technologies to ensure you get the ideal solution for your application. Going above and beyond simple instrument sales, our devices are complemented by a range of mechanical components, designed specifically to suit your application in a variety of materials. Many of our level devices are designed in accordance with IEC 61508/IEC61511-1 for installation and integration into safety systems, conforming to SIL2/3. We also offer CAD design drawings in 2D and 3D.
Panel solutions Our panel solutions service includes the design and build of bespoke panels to house a wide variety of instrumentation including displays, alarms, data collection, process control and liquid analysis equipment. From the simplest indicator panels through to complete tank farm control panels and fully serviced, stand-alone analyser kiosks, Endress+Hauser has the capability to provide panels and enclosures that are designed to complement your project architecture perfectly.
Our design engineers take an intelligent approach to your panel design in order to ensure that it meets your exact specifications. We’ll consider the final location of the panel to ensure that the most suitable housing materials are used and will recommend solutions to deal with problems that are particular to your site. We have the capability to deliver panels for hazardous areas and to incorporate safety controls for critical systems. Site and factory acceptance tests (FAT & SAT) will be carried out as and when required.
As an ISO 9001 accredited company, you can rest assured that our quality procedures are followed throughout the complete design and build process.
