Höntzsch – measuring technology since 1966

For Höntzsch the measuring of flow isn’t only a profession but also passion. We find measuring solutions for all requirements in every environment. Our measuring instruments are even applicable under high pressures up to 50 bar.

Our measuring instruments are applicable at high pressures up to 50 bar. They deliver precise measuring results even with smallest flow measuring velocities and lowest volume flows. In sample gases such as ammonia, butadiene, hydrogen, LPG, natural gas, propane and many other media Höntzsch measuring instruments deliver exact values. Our flow sensors are applied even under toughest circumstances such as strong pollution or dust pollution.

Höntzsch – Guaranteed measuring precision

Höntzsch is a specialist for the development, production and distribution of innovative products for the measuring of flow. Our high quality standard and measuring precision are supported by high-quality materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium, tantalum, guaranteeing longevity even under toughest operating conditions. Höntzsch measuring instruments are known for their reliable measuring results especially in extreme applications. Their unique strength lies in hazardous areas, in aggressive media, gases with temperatures up to 550° C, high flow velocities up to 200 m/s or in pipe flows with changing gas compositions or flow direction.

The world of measuring

Our measuring technology is used for the measuring of gas flow, flow velocity and volume flow. Höntzsch stands for precise measuring solution on the highest quality standard and our instruments guarantee process stability and plant safety worldwide.

Anemometer for flow measurement

For measuring in pipelines and ducts, aerodynamic research, test bench measurements, measuring laminar flow, landfill gas, exhaust gas, flow rate and flow velocity in flowing waters.

Vortex meter

For the measuring of flow rate, landfill gas and other gases, it is also suited for the measuring in wet and particle-laden gases and for the flow measurement of sludge aeration air, sewage gas and water vapour. Further possible applications are the flow measurement in climatic wind tunnels and the measurement of engine intake air on test benches.

Flow sensors and flow meters

Thermal flow sensors and calorimetric flow meters for fixed or portable consumption measurement in gases. They’re also suited for the following applications: measuring of laminar flow, burner supply air and mass flow.

Portable ultrasonic flow meter for liquids

Ultrasonic pulses are sent and received simultaneously through the medium in the direction of flow and against it, guaranteeing accurate measuring results within minutes. They are easy to install and operate and there is no process interruption or pipe restrictions. As a result there is no pressure loss.

"Measure the measurable and make the immeasurable also measurable." Galileo Galilei 

Our wind tunnels are among the most precise references in measuring technology worldwide. We currently calibrate flow sensors and flow measuring instruments for flow velocity and flow rate in air / gases, real gas, liquids, high pressure, high temperature and low velocity, on seven test stands fitted with state-of-the-art measuring technology equipment.

The DAkkS accreditation of our calibration laboratory for the measurement of flow velocity of gases in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 is

confirmation by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) that our calibrations are traceable to PTB (Federal Institute of Technical Physics) national standards and norms and guarantees precision of the applied references. It goes without saying that all our flow sensors and flow rate measuring equipment not within the scope of this accreditation are calibrated under the auspices of a certified quality assurance system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 using references which can be traced to national PTB standards and norms.
