Scientific instrumentation, known as the "eyes" of scientists, is comparable to the crown jewel of high-end manufacturing, and the research and development of instrumentation is of great strategic significance to a country's national economic development and national security. In recent years, Jinan High-tech Zone has actively implemented the "double carbon" strategy, built a green manufacturing system, and made every effort to develop the instrumentation industry. It has formed an instrumentation industry development system dominated by power equipment, laser measurement, and environmental monitoring instruments, and coordinated with new energy and robotics technologies. At present, there are 23 key enterprises in the instrumentation industry in the region, and the total output value above scale will be 3.20 billion yuan in 2024, accounting for 65% of Jinan's total output value.

gnawed at the "hard bones", and the core instrument was localized.

walked into the corporate exhibition hall of the joint stock company of US Nuclear Electric (Jinan) (hereinafter referred to as "US Nuclear Electric"). The main water supply ultrasonic flowmeter - the equipment model of the country's first set of major technological innovation products was particularly eye-catching.

What is the main water supply ultrasonic flowmeter? Zhang Wenbo, director of business management and branch secretary of US Nuclear Electric, introduced that the main water supply ultrasonic flowmeter can still accurately measure the pipeline flow, temperature and pressure under high temperature and high pressure conditions through the use of ultrasonic technology. The measured data can be directly used to calculate the thermal power of nuclear reactors, and the Venturi flowmeter installed in the pipeline can be calibrated. It is an important core equipment for nuclear power plants to safely and reliably reduce the control margin of the first loop and improve economic benefits.
