Dantec Dynamics

The department very soon began to develop a wide range of high-quality products for use both in medicine and the measurement of pressure and rotation. One of these early products, DISATAC, measures rotation in turbochargers and is still sold to the marine and offshore industries. During the 1950s, the company developed its knowledge and expertise in flow measurement – know-how that provided the foundations for Dantec Dynamics’ current position as the world’s leading supplier of instrumentation for flow measurement and particle characterisation. Since then, Dantec Dynamics has continued to innovate and deliver groundbreaking products to companies and institutions around the world. In 1978, a 3D towing tank LDA system was delivered to the Hamburg Ship Model Basin, HSVA. A new product line, Particle Dynamics Analysis (PDA), was launched. Where CTA and LDA describe the flow at a single point, PIV provides information about how the velocity is distributed in a plane. Building on these technological developments, Dantec began to develop a PIV product.
