Of metal tube float flowmeter to maintain sustained, rapid and healthy development of macro-control policies and the implementation of proactive fiscal policy to expand the domestic market. Various departments of the national economy will have a large number of enterprises to improve product quality, economic benefits of technological innovation, especially the countries in the past two years seven major industries of metallurgy, petrochemical, paper and other key technological transformation, the formation of a larger demand on the instrumentation, In the field of metallurgy, petrochemical, environmental protection and continuous production process, the need of automated instrumentation and control system of 1.3 million pieces (sets) or more, the master device (large DCS, small and medium-sized DCS, the PLC, a single, multi-loop controller) more than 15 million units (sets), the transmitter is about 25 million units, the instrumentation of over 50 million units, valve over 20 million units, a new generation of Fieldbus industrial control system requirements will have a larger growth; research, education , agriculture, environmental protection, meteorology, medicine, health, geology, and mechanical and electrical industry is required every year more than 1 million units instrumentation (spectrophotometer, 25000, 15000 vehicle detectors, environmental monitors, 13000, medical equipment 30000 more than one); With the gradual improvement of people's material standard of living, and cultural life, the level of spiritual life are bound to further enhance the camera needs about 10 million units per year, copiers expected sales of more than 80,000 units per year. Instrumentation industry ** value of 9.475 billion yuan (self-export volume of $ 721 million) in 1998, which accounted for 2.4% Automation Instrumentation, laboratory equipment accounted for 2.02%, accounted for 0.54% of analytical instruments, optical instruments accounted for 4.98 cameras and equipment accounted for 71.3% accounted for 0.23% of the film mechanical, electrical equipment accounted for 6.19%. The main export products are power meter, microscope, water meters, gas meters, tachometers, thermometers, pressure gauges, pressure reducer and so on.

Second, the level of production equipment and key equipment

Instrumentation industry in China in the technological transformation of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period, the basic technology for the industry to manufacture the poor conditions and lack of development capacity and other outstanding problems, the acquisition of a machining center, CNC machine tools, precision machining equipment, instrumentation box mold processing, template manufacturing, parts processing accuracy, the quality of the appearance of technology have significantly improved. Part of the backbone enterprises to purchase a small computer, workstation, etc., to achieve the production and marketing of integrated computer management, and instrumentation industry's product development and market responsiveness. But overall, the level of manufacturing technology of instrument industry in China is still low, the equipment is still lagging behind. Instrumentation industry manufacturing technology are higher, but most companies still use the ordinary lathe, installed manually inserted components and test. To sum up, the performance of the two "over four four less processing: general equipment, precision equipment; universal equipment, special equipment; conventional equipment, CAM; general technology, key technology . Equipment: manual equipment, machinery and equipment; manual welding, automatic welding less; General Instrument, special instruments; conventional equipment, CAT less. In recent years, the metal tube float flowmeter in accordance with the requirements of the market economies of scale, increase efforts to restructure the enterprise by way of association, merger, forming a group with strong strength and market competitiveness of the enterprise group, concentration of production was significantly improved. Over a hundred million of sales revenue has reached the end of 1998 31, which more than 300 million yuan, 6.
