Process Instrumentation

Reliable process measurement is fundamental to safe, efficient industrial operations — and ATSCO Sales & Service brings the application expertise and product depth to deliver measurement solutions that perform across the demanding conditions found throughout the Rocky Mountain region. From flow measurement on high-solids slurry pipelines to pressure and level instrumentation in hazardous area oilfield locations, ATSCO provides the technical guidance and product support that industrial customers in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming rely on.

ATSCO's process instrumentation service encompasses the full measurement lifecycle — from initial technology selection and sizing through installation support, commissioning, and ongoing calibration assistance. Our application engineers evaluate each measurement requirement against the process conditions, installation constraints, accuracy requirements, and hazardous area classification to recommend the right measurement technology. This approach ensures that instruments are not only properly specified but also properly installed for maximum reliability and accuracy.

Flow measurement technology selection is one of the most consequential decisions in process design — the wrong technology for the fluid and application leads to measurement errors, maintenance headaches, and potential safety issues. ATSCO's instrumentation engineers are fluent in electromagnetic, ultrasonic, turbine, vortex, acoustic, and differential pressure flow measurement technologies. We help customers navigate the technology selection process based on fluid conductivity, viscosity, solids content, flow range, accuracy requirements, and total cost of ownership.

Pressure and level measurement applications present unique challenges in Rocky Mountain industrial environments — extreme temperature swings, high-altitude atmospheric pressure corrections, and remote locations without reliable instrument air supply all complicate standard measurement approaches. ATSCO's team understands these regional challenges and incorporates them into instrument specifications from the start. We supply pressure transmitters, differential pressure transmitters, guided wave radar level transmitters, ultrasonic level sensors, and hydrostatic level transmitters from manufacturers with proven performance in Rocky Mountain field conditions.

Beyond product supply, ATSCO provides calibration support and documentation services for instrumentation in regulated applications. Municipal water utilities, oil & gas custody transfer installations, and environmental monitoring systems all require periodic calibration verification and documentation. ATSCO's instrumentation team can provide on-site calibration support and calibration documentation to help customers maintain their instrument records and meet regulatory requirements.
