Utilities and energy infrastructure spans a wide range of measurement challenges – from monitoring the differential pressure that controls draught in an incinerator, to accurately measuring very low methane flow rates from landfill vents, to verifying the integrity of solar panel circuits at the point of manufacture.
Furness Controls manufactures differential pressure transmitters, Pitot static tubes, laminar flow elements, and production line leak testers that are used across utilities and energy applications. Our instruments are built for demanding industrial environments, with the accuracy and long-term stability that continuous monitoring and production-line testing require.
Standards and Accreditation
Our instruments and calibration services are designed to support the quality and compliance requirements of utilities operators and energy equipment manufacturers.
Furness Controls holds UKAS accreditation and operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 across our calibration laboratories in the UK, France, Germany, and the US. All calibrations are fully traceable to national standards.
Our instruments are suitable for use in programmes requiring compliance with:
Environment Agency - landfill gas monitoring requirements
BS EN ISO 15714 - method of sampling and flow measurement of gas escaping from landfills
