Our Facilities: Measuring Up to the Highest Standards To help us achieve – and set – the highest standard of air ow measurement, Eastern Instruments maintains 26,000 sq. ft. of engineering, laboratory, testing, and assembly area in two Wilmington locations. There are two stand-alone laboratory sites, one of which is a test facility with an air ow test chamber with *NIST referenced nozzles. Within the main building, which houses the general ofces and engineering organization, are a fully supported machine shop, fabrication services, electronics assembly, and testing department.

Precision Flow Measurement Welcome to Eastern Instruments About the VAP3®/SA A proprietary design for relatively clean air applications and for Superior Accuracy (SA), the VAP3®/SA air ow measurement pitots are ideal for either new or retrot process applications. When inserted in air ow ducts, the VAP3®/SA provides an accurate, differential pressure output allowing for precise air ow measurement and control of your process to as low as ±0.50% when calibrated. The VAP3®/SA pitots can also be incorporated within ow-conditioning devices, such as the High Beta®, designed for short duct run applications...

Engineered Solutions Engineering is the heart of Eastern Instruments. From its beginning as a consulting rm to producing today’s full-scale systems, EI has built a solid reputation solving complex air ow problems for customers in the process and power generation industries. Our VAP3® Pitots and High Beta® ow conditioners, whether installed as a device or part of an EI-built process system, reect our dedication to providing the bestengineered products possible for the customer’s application to improve measurement accuracy and process performance. Engineering services include: • Computational Fluid...

Measuring air ow is easy. Measuring it accurately is another story. Environments where air ow measurement that is not repeatable, accurate, or representative of mass ow will destabilize the air ow control loop. The growing trend to improve plant efciency in today’s process and power generation makes accurate air ow measurement crucial. Eastern Instruments’ proprietarydesigned VAP3® Pitots and High Beta® owconditioning device combat the primary causes of inaccurate air ow measurement and provide accurate and reliable measurement solutions. Why choose pitot measurement technology by Eastern Instruments?...

That’s where Eastern Instruments’ technology excels. can severely impact ow measurement because mass calculations inferred by velocity depend on constant duct cross-sectional area. The High Beta® creates a rigid, non-moving cross-sectional area of duct with an integrated ow proling design. Detail of VAP3® Pitots installed in a High Beta® ow conditioner High Beta®: Insufcient straight runs? Not a problem Typical ow measurement devices require sufcient upstream and downstream duct runs for accurate measurement. In most applications, there are rarely sufcient straight runs to permit accurate measurements....

How can air ow measurement systems from EI help me? Eastern Instruments offers a complete line of air and gas ow measurement systems based on more than 35 years of pitot development and product improvements. Our technical director, Bob Brandt, is widely regarded as a rst-rank expert on the subject of air ow measurement and pitot tube design. Whether you need to increase boiler efciency or obtain an optimized uidized velocity for a uid bed dryer, rest assured that Eastern Instruments can provide you with a system that will t your needs.
