Flow Research has completed a new market study on the worldwide gas flow measurement market.  One goal was to determine the market size of various types of flowmeters used to measure gas flow.  In addition, forecasts through 2008 are included.  The following types of flowmeters are included in the study:

Coriolis, Ultrasonic, Vortex, Thermal, Differential Pressure (DP), Positive Displacement, Turbine, and Variable Area

The study has multiple purposes:

  • To determine market size and market shares for all types of flowmeters used to measure gas flow worldwide.

  • To forecast market growth in flowmeters used to measure gas flow through 2008.

  • To understand how the different types of flowmeters used to measure gas flow stack up against each other.

  • To identify industries and applications where different flow technologies are competing, and where they are complementary

  • To update information on the impact of industry approvals that are affecting the market (e.g., AGA-9).

  • To better understand the interaction of new-technology flowmeters (ultrasonic, Coriolis, vortex, thermal) with traditional meters (DP, turbine, PD).

  • To provide strategies to manufacturers for selling into the gas flow measurement market

  • To provide company profiles of the main suppliers of gas flow measurement flowmeters.

The study is divided into the following regions:

  • North America

  • Europe

  • Japan

  • Asia without Japan

  • Rest of World

The study will identifies certain application areas that are especially important.  These include:

  • Custody transfer of natural gas

  • Check metering and non-custody-transfer applications for natural gas flow measurement

  • Process gas measurement

  • Utility applications

  • Stack flow and flare gas measurement

  • Other applications

Of special interest are applications where technologies are competing.  This includes:

  • Ultrasonic vs. Turbine vs. DP for custody transfer of natural gas

  • Thermal vs. DP vs. ultrasonic for stack flow gas measurement

  • Coriolis vs. ultrasonic vs. DP and others for process gas flow measurement

It is especially interesting to understand how Coriolis meters and thermal meters relate to each other.  Coriolis meters are used for high accuracy measurements, and thermal flowmeters excel in measuring low flows, including airflow.  In what industries and applications do they compete, and where are they complementary?  This study answers that question, and many other questions about gas flow measurement.

Flow Research has completed a series of sixteen studies that include all types of flowmeters.  Information about these studies is at http://www.flowresearch.com/flow.htm.  This new study will go beyond previous studies by providing updated information, and by comparing the different technologies as they are used for gas flow measurement.  This study should be of special interest to any manufacturer or end-user of flowmeters used to measure gas flow. It should also be of interest to engineering firms that specify flowmeters for measuring gas flow.
