Overview
This
issue gets off to a bang with the article The New
Wave: Feature-Rich Products. Suppliers compete on price, new-tech vs.
traditional tech, service, and in many other ways. This article looks at
the new wave of feature-rich products and discusses what is causing this
wave. Vanished
Companies tells you where many of those companies you've been
wondering about have gone. The Worldflow
Handbook describes a new guide to flowmeter selection from Flow
Research. New products from KROHNE
and from Marsh McBirney
are featured. You can also learn about International
Flowday 2003. And be sure to check out the latest study from
Flow Research, The World Market for Flowmeters,
