KRACHT wins the "Best of Industry Award 2022"!

Reliably detecting volume flows from 0.3 ml/min: world’s smallest gear type flow meter wins in the “Test and Measurement” category

The Best of Industry Award 2022 acknowledged innovations in 24 different categories considered groundbreaking in the industry. When it comes to measuring and testing technology, one participant – even though small in size – was able to prevail against all its “big” competitors: the world’s smallest gear type flow meter from KRACHT. No comparable measuring equipment, such as that used on test benches for testing fuel injectors, has been able to measure such low volume flows reliably and reproducibly until now. Low-viscosity media is a particular challenge. KRACHT is an expert medium-sized company for fluid measurement technology and world market leader in the field of flow measurement technology. It has now been recognised for its special micro flow meter, which can determine volume flows very precisely (less than 0.5 ml – that’s just three drops per minute) So for example, this micro-quantity meter can now test fuel injectors four times faster.

Gear type flow meter

The smallest gear type flow meter in the world: it allows precision determination of volume flows from 0.3 ml/min and is suitable for media with viscosities from 0.8 mm²/s.

Production machine

KRACHT went right to the limits of what was technically possible when manufacturing and assembling the flow meter. Special production machines are used exclusively for this product.

Assembly

The world’s smallest gear type flow meter is assembled at special workstations in a clean air environment using ultra-fine air filters.

Calibration test bench

The final step is for each individual device to be checked and calibrated on a high-precision calibration test bench especially for low flow rates and low viscosities. This also generates a digital calibration log in the process.
