Brooks Instrument (www.BrooksInstrument.com), a Hatfield, Pa.-based flow measurement and control provider, announced on April 9 that it has acquired Key Instruments Inc. (www.KeyInstruments.com), a flow meter manufacturer based in Trevose, Pa. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Key Instruments’ product line includes precision machined acrylic flow meters, molded plastic flow meters, glass tube flow meters, electronic flow meters, and flow control valves for medical, industrial, water, chemical, and laboratory applications. The company is an FDA registered medical device manufacturer and also provides National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-traceable flow calibrations for many of its products.
