Process connections, transmitters, bus interfaces and electronics are carefully adapted to customer requirements. And for those who require a complete automated solution, Endress+Hauser Process Solutions AG, also in Reinach, is ideally placed to help.
 
 

Demanding specifications for welding consumables

The welding consumables in these appliances come into contact with process media, i.e. gases and liquids. Torsten Undi, Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG, welding technology expert says: "EAS4 and EAS2 wires as well as specialist Ni products are used in production. For acid and corrosion resistance a certain temperature and pressure resistance is required." Dirk Jäkel, Head of Welding & Joining Technology at Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG, adds: “voestalpine Böhler Welding is a partner with ready solutions, even for our unique requirements. Corrosion protection is an issue, particularly in our factories in India or Brazil. We value the fact that, here, voestalpine Böhler Welding supply the wire on plastic reels and adds desiccants to the packaging.“ With a standard delivery time of only 7-10 days approx. 250,000 tested measuring devices leave the company every year, each one meeting the exact requirements of the customer.
