News D-Flow Products   Pilot study   Pilot study Development scope Serial deliveries Refinements Engineering kit Benefits Patent & know-how Validation Download PDF Components Applications Technology Download Sitemap Contact The purpose of the pilot study is to assess the feasibility of D-Flow technology in your application. As part of this study, D-Flow manufactures flow meter prototypes corresponding to your specifications In order to speed up the pilot study, D-Flow has designed a number of electronic evaluation platforms for different types of media and transducers. These platforms can rapidly be adapted to your application and used for the first prototypes. They are also the basis for training and the transfer of know-how to your engineers, who will be in charge of the final development of your product, with support from D-Flow if required. A typical pilot study can be summarised as follows: Specification Discussions to establish a pilot study specification. Design Designing mechanics, preparing electronic boards, choosing transducers etc. Prototypes Manufacturing and mounting of a number of prototypes (normally 3 to 5). Tests Performance tests in water or air, carried out in our laboratory. Report Engineering report describing the specifications, prototypes, test procedure and test results. Visit The customer visits D-Flow for discussions and a training session. Validation The customer validates the results by testing the prototypes in the field or at the facilities of an external accredited flow meter service provider.
