Competitive Intelligence Report:
Magnetic Flowmeters

If you are a manufacturer or private-label reseller of magnetic flowmeters and you think that they are a commodity product, you may want to think again. Copperhill & Pointer combined the expertise of David W. Spitzer, author, editor, and respected instructor of flow seminars, and Walt Boyes, marketing professional, and industry analyst, to offer a new and unique set of reports to the industry.

This series has already set a new standard for useable information and technical completeness, while providing significant new data and conclusions on one of the "workhorses" of flow measurement. If you manufacture, sell, specify, or use magnetic flowmeters, this study is a "must have" for you.

This report shows that conventional wisdom isn't always true. All magnetic flowmeters aren't created equal. The differences between the manufacturers and models surveyed show that you can differentiate between flowmeters on the basis of performance and features, not just price. 63 companies sell full-bore magnetic flowmeters. 46 companies manufacture them.
