41 Why FLEXIM Calibration PTB traceable calibration certificate acc. ISO9001 Temperature Compensation Meet the national standards, e.g. ASME MFC 5M Stable measurements far more better than all USM competitors ZERO Sensitivity Provide unprecedented sensitivity to the extremely low flowrates Huge turndown Dynamic range ( m/s or ft/s) Diagnostic rich outputs, e.g. empty pipe detection, and aeration Application Guarantee Provides an application guarantee on all equipment sold. If it doesn t work, we take it back 40

42 Why FLEXIM Unique FLEXIM Unique technology, unique knowhow, unique digital processing Dynamic Transducer Compensation NO zero calibration and NO zero drift Everything s done in factory carefree on-site Maintenance Permanent coupling pads set it and forget it (all other USMs: must re-coupling and maybe every 3-6 months) Underground Installations No second Clamp-On USMs can fulfil all those challenging assignments! Once FLEXIM always FLEXIM 41
