Met-Flow cultivates
close contacts with main centres of technology in Switzerland, Germany, Japan
and UK. This especially concerns such centres which do research in ultrasound
technique field, and apply it to demanding industrial applications.
Such research has been intensively made especially in Paul Scherrer Institute,
Villigen, Switzerland, under the leadership of Dr. Yasushi Takeda. Dr. Takeda
became the pioneer in measurement of velocity profiles in molten metal by UVP
technique as early as 1984. Fe has since made an important contribution to scientific
publications in this field. Many other publications from other scientists and
researchers exist as well.
