On 29th August 2013 Höntzsch GmbH was granted full DKD membership. DKD is a body of accredited calibration laboratories under the auspices of the Federal Institute of Technical Physics (PTB). The essential objectives of the DKD are the advancement of calibration systems in terms of measured variables, the promotion of communication between members and the development of calibration guidelines…

In June 2013 the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) accredited our calibration laboratory in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for flow velocity ranges of gases from 0.1 m/s to 70 m/s, providing us with a marketing advantage over our non-accredited competitors.

Our Canadian agency for the North American countries, Polycontrols Technologies inc., is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Congratulations! 

This year from 26th - 27th April Höntzsch GmbH in Waiblingen will host the NAMUR working group for flow measuring technology under the direction of Dr. Armin Brucker (BASF).

In addition to German, English and French, the flowtherm NT in now also available with user language Japanese.Of course, the HLOGII software for configuration, readout and processing of measured data is also availabe in Japanese. 

Höntzsch has extended its network of agencies abroad to Africa by entering into an agreement with GFG (Pty) Ltd. GFG is a South African based company and is responsible as of now for sales and service of Höntzsch products in South Africa.

We congratulate our colleague Arne Taube on the successful completion of his PhD in July this year. As a graduate engineer working in our calibration centre, he earned his doctor title at the Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Stuttgart. His thesis "A High-Order Discontinuous Galerkin Scheme for Aerodynamic Applications in Industry"…
