A+K Brand Story
In 2003NASA developed the prototype BFM balance flowmeter for the measurement of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen in the main engine of the space shuttle.
In 2006A+FLOWTEK and A+QMC have developed industrial balance flowmeters and product design calculus software suitable for commercial use, and won the U.S. President's Invention Award.
In 2007On December 21st, during the Christmas holiday, Mr. Zhou Ren, general manager of Shanghai Keyontechs, and Paul, inventor and scientist of balance flowmeter. Fan. Bascak, who met for the first time at Yao Ming's Restaurant in Houston, Texas, said to Zhou, "You are the first young man outside the United States to come to me!"
In 2008Shanghai Keyon signed A 10-year exclusive cooperation agreement with A+FLOWTEK, LLC., for manufacturing and sales in China.
2018Shanghai Keyon and America A+FlowTek, LLC/ APlus-QMC, LLC signed a 30 year exclusive cooperation agreement on manufacturing and sales in China.
2020During the epidemic, Paul encouraged Keyon: "Fifteen years ago, you are still young. May Keyon carry forward BFM!"

In 2009, China and the United States jointly confirmed the use of A+K brand
A+K -- a high-end international brand of differential pressure flowmeter
A+K balance flowmeter, Venter flowmeter, ring wedge flowmeter...
Principle of balanced throttling: equal Reynolds number, momentum balance. Differential pressure measurement principle revolution.
High precision and good measurement stability
Short straight pipe section, saving pipeline investment
Low pressure loss, greatly reducing energy consumption in operation
Dirt resistant, not easy to plug, reduce maintenance costs
Full life cycle cost-effective
Wide application range, 90% application conditions
Intellectual property: In the United States, China and BRICS countries, intellectual property is protected by law;
Flow calculation: Based on A+FlowTek/A+QMC special software, customized for measuring conditions, optimized structure design and parameter calculation;
Physical property data:The combination calculation of all media such as steam, water, liquid, general gas, natural gas, and mixed gas, and any component media; Directly obtain data such as dynamic viscosity, compression coefficient, molecular weight, isentropic index, and operating density under operating conditions, covering conditions ranging from deep low temperature to ultra-high temperature, and from negative pressure to ultra-high pressure;
Experimental data:A+FLOWTEK PROGRAM SUITE software integrates 110000+sets of test data and 1700+physical property media libraries; The 15 year industrial application of Shanghai Keyon Technology in China is supported by 300000+sets of real flow calibration test data from Keyon CNASA Laboratory.
Structural design:The equal Reynolds number opening algorithm (4 to 39 holes optional) provides an optimized structure for actual working conditions, with 12 product structure series covering 90% of applications;
Manufacturing and processing:The body of the A+K balance flowmeter is mainly made of integrally forged materials for pipe sections, the throttling elements are processed with high-precision CNC or slow wire, and the assembly adopts a stress free welding process. The three major systems of quality, safety, and environment, as well as TS supervision and inspection, guarantee that.
