FLOW MEASUREMENTS FUTURE
Will the picture of applied technologies change?
Yes,
But ……. : Depends on added value / business case
And how fast : Slow, mainly new technologies are
implemented during new/major projects
(large installed base, long life time
of instruments and end user tends to
one to one replacements)
