We provide an overview of the core industries for which DDM Sensors develops and manufactures highly specialized flow meters. Our expertise focuses particularly on the automotive, laboratory technology, and aerospace sectors.
Flow Meters for the Automotive Industry
Applications
The application areas of our flow meters include engine and transmission test stands, which require precise measurements to increase efficiency. Another key area is exact fuel consumption measurement, where we deliver reliable data during vehicle testing using particularly compact turbines. Furthermore, our sensors are critical for monitoring and controlling cooling circuits and air conditioning systems, as demonstrated by our successful projects in electric vehicle thermal management testing.
Industry-Specific Requirements
Our flow meters are designed for high media temperatures of up to +150 °C. Our robust construction guarantees high vibration resistance, which is essential for deployment in test benches and vehicles. Compatibility with standard fuels and oils is fully ensured, as are fast response times required for dynamic test cycles and control tasks.
Recommended Flow Meters from DDM Sensors for the Automotive Industry
For the specific requirements of the automotive industry, we particularly recommend our field-proven turbine flow meters and oval gear meters.

Flow Meters for Laboratory Technology
Applications
In laboratory technology, maximum precision in liquid measurement is crucial. Application areas include high-precision reagent dosing, sample preparation, analytical instrument calibration, and fermentation process monitoring, where extremely small fluid quantities often need to be measured.
Industry-Specific Requirements
Requirements in laboratory technology are defined by the need for accuracy and purity. Depending on the design, our flow meters offer high accuracy (up to ±0.1%) and repeatability (up to ±0.025%), which are fundamental for validated processes. They are specifically engineered for measuring ultra-low flow rates starting from 0.002 L/min and feature high chemical resistance against aggressive media thanks to wetted materials such as PEEK, 316 stainless steel, Viton, and borosilicate glass.
Recommended Flow Meters from DDM Sensors for Laboratory Technology
For the diverse applications in lab tech, we offer a broad portfolio of suitable flow meters. These include our high-precision ultrasonic flow meters from the Atrato, Process Atrato, and MetraFlow series, as well as our reliable oval gear meters, turbine flow meters, Pelton wheel meters, and electromagnetic flow meters (MAG).

Flow Meters for Aerospace
Applications
Our flow meters are deployed in safety-critical fuel systems and refueling operations. They are also used in hydraulic systems, environmental control systems (ECS), and life-support systems. On engine and component test stands, they deliver exact measurement data. A concrete application example is fuel consumption measurement in private jets for validating and developing alternative fuels such as biodiesel.
Industry-Specific Requirements
The aerospace industry places the highest demands on materials, design, and reliability. Our flow meters are built for extreme temperature ranges from −40 °C to +150 °C and high process pressures up to 700 bar (OG oval gear meters) or 500 bar (FLT high-pressure turbines). Featuring protection ratings up to IP67, tested EMC resistance (EN 55011 / EN 61000-4-x), and low-wear, partially non-contact measuring principles, they guarantee maximum operational reliability and safety.
Recommended Flow Meters from DDM Sensors for Aerospace
Due to harsh environmental conditions and stringent safety requirements, we primarily recommend our robust turbine flow meters and high-precision oval gear meters for aerospace applications.
