Eastern Instruments is an engineered solutions company located adjacent to the North Carolina International State Port in Wilmington, North Carolina. Since 1984, the Company has been engaged in the development of solid particle mass flow and airflow measurement and control systems for clients in a variety of industries including the food, petrochemical and agricultural industries. Many of the legend companies use Eastern Instruments in the processes that make the brands that touch the lives of millions every day. Founded in 1984, Eastern has evolved into a manufacturing organization that builds engineered-to-order components as well as complete systems for clients located around the globe. Backed by more than thirty patents and an experienced staff of engineers and designers, the Company's focus is on the use of mass flow technology in applications that involve mixing, blending, inventory control, truck/rail car load out, and much more.
The company operates a facility within the Landmark Industrial Area. Included within this facility are our general and engineering offices, our prototype development studio and our systems assembly and machine and fabrication shops as well as a complete testing laboratory which has the capability of replicating most customer applications for solids mass flow measurement. An airflow chamber is also available for testing and validation.
A Coriolis flow meter measures mass by the inertia of a liquid or gas flowing through a vibrating tube that is equipped with a set of sensors at the inlets and outlets of the meter. The increased movement of the flow produces measurable oscillation that is proportional to the mass...
Flow Switches
A flow switch is a device that measures the flow rate and liquid pressure within a duct, loop, or system. Flow sensor and flow indication are other names for this switch. The primary purpose of a flow switch is to continually...
Level Switches
A level switch is an electrical or mechanical method for measuring the level of a liquid, powder, or granule material. It is designed to activate an alarm if the material level in a container passes a predetermined height or depth...
Magnetic Flow Meters
A magnetic flow meter is a volumetric flow meter that uses electrodes connected to the liquid flow to measure the velocity of fluids in a tube or pipe. The unique design of magnetic flow meters allows them to take their readings without the need for any moving parts...
Mass Flow Meters
A mass flow meter is a way of measuring the volume or mass of a gas or liquid passing through a system at a specific point in the flow system. They are used to measure linear, nonlinear, mass, and volumetric flow rates...
Ultrasonic Flow Meters
An ultrasonic flow meter measures the flow of a liquid or gas by sending ultrasonic waves across a pipe, containing the flow in the direction of the flow and in the opposite direction of the flow. The ultrasonic waves and the velocity of...
Types of Flow Meters
A flow meter is a flow rate measuring device used to determine the linear or nonlinear mass and volumetric flow of a liquid or a gas. The many names of flow meters include flow gauge, flow indicator, liquid meter, and flow rate sensor...
Metering Pumps
A metering pump is a precision machine that moves or pumps a measured amount of fluid in a predetermined time to create volumetric flow. The term “metering pump” covers a wide range of pumping methods, each designed to meet...
Rotameters
A rotameter is a device that measures the flow of fluid volume per unit time in a closed tube. There are diverse rotameters applications, including chemical injection/dosing and tank blanketing. A rotameter can be said...
Water Filtering Systems
A water filtering system is a mechanism that is designed to remove solid particles, tiny or large, from inside a liquid through the use of a filter medium that only allows the liquid to pass but restricts solid particles....
Leak Detector
A leak detector is a sensor used for monitoring a system that contains liquids, gasses, or other substances to ensure that the contained materials do not escape, leak, or otherwise leave the system. The leak detection process involves...
Centrifugal Pumps
A centrifugal pump is defined as a hydraulic machine that changes mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by the use of centrifugal force acting on the fluid. This is a machine that uses rotation to enforce velocity on a liquid...
