What we do

Four businesses. One measurement focus.

  1. 01

    Ultrasonic flow measurement

    Fixed and portable meters for liquid flow, clamp-on or insertion depending on the model.

    Flow meters →
  2. 02

    Thermal energy measurement

    Meters that add the supply and return temperatures to the flow, to measure heating and cooling energy.

    Energy meters →
  3. 03

    Flow calibration systems

    Systems for checking flow meters against a known reference flow.

    Discuss calibration needs →
  4. 04

    Water treatment & environmental automation

    Automation for water treatment and environmental projects, discussed project by project.

Milestones

Thirty years of fluid measurement.

The company’s own account of its history, as published in its 2026 product catalog.

  1. Established in Shenzhen, the city of science and technology.
  2. Obtained the Building Automation Qualification Certificate.
  3. Completed the fuel test standard “Rockets Attitude Control” for China Aerospace.
  4. Developed Picofly technology and applied it to ultrasonic flow meters.
  5. Worked with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Harbin Institute of Technology to prove Picofly’s very fine time resolution.
  6. Exhibited at Hannover Messe with the compound multipath ultrasonic flow meter D348D plus and Smart Crystal F200.
  7. Ultrasonic mass flow measurement applied by the China Air Force.
  8. Developed smart air conditioning, smart water strategy and product + IoT.
  9. Invited to the 23rd National Invention Exhibition and the BRICS Technology Development and Innovation Competition; won the Silver Award.
  10. 30th anniversary. Launched the flow control valve, the flow sensor and MeterTube, the smart water and energy metering solution with phone app and cloud platform.
  11. Breakthrough in small-diameter measurement: the MFCL and MFR series measure DN10 and DN15 pipes with high precision.
  12. Expanded the portfolio with the D2, D3 and D5 CDU coolant monitor series for data-centre liquid cooling.

Engineering & manufacturing

Developed, built and verified by one team.

Product development, manufacturing, calibration and application support sit together, so the meter you specify is the meter that was tested.

Calibration

Four rigs, one ageing test.

How the company checks its meters, as described in its 2026 product catalog. The photographs are shown at the size the catalog holds them.

Axial double-loop flow calibration rig: pipework loops with meters under test and a control cabinet

Axial double-loop flow calibration rig

Checks meters against a high-precision ultrasonic master meter. The rig is evaluated and certified by the national metrology authority every year.

Heat meter flow calibration system with a test bench and a temperature-controlled loop

Heat meter flow calibration system

Calibrates thermal energy meters (BTU, heat and cold), with the medium temperature held at 50 ± 5 °C.

DN100 axial flow calibration rig with a long test line holding several meters

DN100 axial flow calibration rig

Used for volume production: six flow meters are calibrated at the same time.

Weighing-method liquid flow calibration rig with a weighing tank and test line

Weighing-method liquid flow calibration rig

Calibrates by weighing the liquid, for flow meters from DN8 to DN80.

High-temperature ageing chamber

High-temperature ageing

At least 72 hours in a 55 °C environment: the company’s high-temperature ageing test.

Standards & quality

Experience in measurement standards.

Gentos has contributed to Chinese ultrasonic flow-meter standards, including JJG 1030-2007 and GB/T 35138-2017.

In plain words: these documents set out how ultrasonic flow meters in China are specified, installed and checked.

What these standards cover
JJG 1030-2007
Ultrasonic Flowmeters. China’s national verification regulation: how ultrasonic flow meters are checked against a reference.
GB/T 35138-2017
Measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits: ultrasonic transit-time meters for liquid. A national standard covering the measurement principle, performance, calibration, outputs and installation, for clamp-on and insertion sensors.
