To save you time and money by providing:

-An unbiased analysis of your instrumentation requirements.

-Free online process control technical information, calculation programs and equipment sourcing.

-Matching your application requirements to proven instrumentation technology.

-Using our many global affiliate offices to provide the most comprehensive domestic and international instrumentation suppliers integrated with their local authorized representatives for procurement.
 
What does registering and joining the SMC site entitle me to do?
-The full use of our site and updates at no cost to you. You will be able to access 100% of the site with no restrictions.
 
What are the site features and special advantages for me?
-Local service and support provided for each product sourced through our site.

-A step by step process to go from an inquiry (RFQ) to an order using our automatic sizing, specifying and part number configuration sofware, followed by direct purchase from the authorized local manufacturers representative.

-Multiple methods of empowering users to determine which technologies are applicable to any process application.
 
What is the Request for Quote (RFQ) process?
-An RFQ is when your inquiry is processed using our various online sizing, specifying, and calculation programs, which generate a product/manufacturer specific part number. This information is then sent to the manufacturer's authorized distributor, who will follow-up with you and generate a quote.
 
Can you direct me step-by-step so I know what is available?
Do you know what technologies are applicable to your flow applications?

if yes, then go to Sizing Wizards or the Sizing menu on top. Choose the sizing wizard, which opens an interactive application data sheet for your technology. See Below:

or go directly to Products menu and choose a flow technology to see if your application fits the technology you chose. By accessing the on Application Data Sheet... you can learn how to use our inquiry-to-order process, which guides you to a part number. After choosing the partnumber and options, this data will automatically be sent to you and your local representative press .

If you don't know which technology to choose for your application, then go to either Application Matrices section or the Matrix menu . These sections will offer you available technologies that can meet your specific application. Once you choose the technology, an application data sheet for that technology appears, which guides you through the required fields and data ranges, creating an "engineered" document.

By putting your parameters in the application datasheet you will be guided through a process where you would be able to size, specify the given product part number(s), followed by sending the RFQ to your local authorized representative.

If the data you input in the Application Data Sheet can not meet the ranges of available products, you will be notified which parameters to adjust to fit the instrument.

Note: If your process data is very close to the technology specification limits, you will be directed to a "best fit" page to give you a pictorial view of your choices. Note that the highest score indicates the closest match.
