Heinrichs Messtechnik – in process instrumentation since 1911
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH, based in Cologne, develops and manufactures measuring instruments for flow, level, temperature and pressure. The portfolio includes Coriolis mass flow meters, magnetic-inductive flow meters and all-metal variable area flow meters, complemented by flap flow meters and fitting variants for versatile mounting. For aggressive media and special applications, measuring instruments made of Hastelloy, titanium and tantalum are used, including high-pressure Coriolis devices for hydrogen applications. The main industries include chemicals, petrochemicals, oil and gas, power plants, shipbuilding, process engineering, mechanical and plant engineering, as well as water and wastewater management. Every product is tested for durability, accuracy and reliability before delivery; approvals according to the metrology regulations of various countries guarantee measurement accuracy according to recognised standards. Founded in 1911, the company is part of the Kobold Group, which ensures worldwide accessibility and delivery capability. In addition, repair, maintenance, upgrade as well as calibration and loaner device services are offered.
