Trimteck has over thirty years of experience engineering, manufacturing, and marketing high quality, cost-effective flow control solutions and equipment for critical processes, and our control valves are currently helping improve quality, optimize throughput, and reduce emissions and energy costs across an array of industries in more than 42 countries. In order to address the need for flow metering equipment on projects, Trimteck has elected to bundle its products with KROHNE technology exclusively because of the company’s renowned expertise in state of the art, reliable flow measurement solutions, such as coriolis, ultrasonic, electromagnetic, vortex, and variable area for wide range of temperatures and pressure. All KROHNE flow meters are wet calibrated and supplied with calibration certificates.

The project partnership between Trimteck and KROHNE demonstrates a shared culture. Both Trimteck and KROHNE have the same focus on supplying their customers with accurate, reliable products and technology, with an unsurpassed level of personalized, local service.

About KROHNE

The company headquarters are based in Duisburg, Germany. KROHNE is a market leader in the development and manufacturing of innovative process measurement technologies that do not drift over time and prides itself on exceeding customer expectations in terms of quality, performance capability, service and design.

Trimteck is at the forefront of applying innovations in material science to extend the life of process control equipment. First used in the aerospace industry to harden rocket nozzles on the space shuttle, CVD-5B is a chemical vapor diffusion process wherein a hard wear-resistant metal mesh is fused into the surface of a wide variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. We have altered and adapted the technology to make our control valves and parts last longer.

There are many metal hardening technologies on the market today, such as thermal sprays, stellite, and hard chrome facings. However, users are increasingly demanding that their process control equipment also be wear-resistant and capable of sustaining higher temperatures, and CVD-5B was developed as a cost-effective alternative for addressing these process control issues.

Unlike coatings and traditional hard facings that harden only the surface of the host material, during the CVD-5B process, superheated boron atoms are diffused deep into a host surface to form a metal boride layer that permeates evenly up to .015’’. Trimteck has harnessed and perfected this advanced technology to, in many cases, effectively extend the life of our control valves more than ten-fold.
