  • Did FMC Technologies have a Coriolis flowmeter?

    By Jesse Yoder, PhD

    After hours of research I have concluded the following:

    FMC sold a Coriolis flowmeter called the Apollo in the early 2000’s –a at least in 2004. This was for liquid measurement, and I don’t know who developed it.

    FMC partnered with Direct Measurement Corp. (DMC) on a straight tube Coriolis gas flowmeter. This meter was discontinued I believe in 2008.

    In 2003, FMC began offering 3 path and 6 path ultrasonic flowmeters called the MPU.

    In 2017, FMC was acquired by Technip and became TechnipFMC. About that time they started reselling the E+H Coriolis flowmeters, branded as the FMC 5000 Series.

    In 2023, FMC sold its Measurement Solutions business to One Equity Partners.

    There is much more to this story; however these are some of the measurement highlights. For those of you who don’t know, FMC stands for Food Machinery Corporation. FMC has a history of being involved with food production and food processing.
