Emerson announced the opening of its new Asia Flow Technology Center in Nanjing, China, significantly strengthening the company's presence in Asia Pacific and enhancing Emerson Process Management's commitment to provide innovative, effective process automation solutions for customers in the region. The Asia Flow Technology Center expands production capacity and services for Emerson Process Management's leading flow metering and measurement technologies that serve the oil and gas, refining, petrochemicals, marine, life sciences, food and beverage, metals and mining, and pulp and paper industries. The 12,500m2 facility will manufacture world-leading measurement technologies, including Micro Motion Coriolis flow and density meters, Rosemount® vortex and magnetic flowmeters, and Daniel ultrasonic and differential pressure flowmeters. Located in Nanjing's Jiangning Science Park, the center joins other recently opened Asian Process Management facilities including Chiba (Tokyo) Japan; Wuqing, Tianjin China; Rayong Province, Thailand; Bao'an, Shenzhen Province, China; and Singapore.

Calibration facilities can accommodate measurement devices from a tenth of an inch (25mm) to 40 inches (1000mm) in size. In addition, the new Flow Technology Center will offer quality testing capabilities including X-ray, dye penetrant, positive metal identification, hydrostatic testing, pneumatic testing, electronics diagnostic testing, and electronics calibration.
