Instrumentation and Controls for San Luis Obispo, CA

Instrumentation, analyzers, calibration, rentals, and start-up support for SLO County’s water/wastewater, wineries & beverage, agriculture/irrigation, energy, and industrial facilities—engineered for coastal fog, washdowns, and long runs.

Reliable Process Measurement for the Central Coast

From Morro Bay to Paso Robles, plants and process lines need instruments that hold calibration, survive washdowns, and deliver defensible data. We help specify, supply, and support systems that keep operations safe, efficient, and compliant in coastal and valley conditions.

We supply and support a full range of sensors, transmitters, analyzers, and monitoring equipment for flow, level, pressure, temperature, and analytical measurement applications.
