In spite of many unfavorable factors, but in 2012, China's metal tube float flowmeter still achieved good results of the rapid development, including industrial output value exceeded 600 billion yuan mark for the first time, the main business income margin to another a new high.

Instrument Industry Association data show that in 2012 instrumentation industry enterprises above designated size industrial output value of 615.3 billion yuan, an increase of 26.86%; sales value of 597.6 billion yuan, an increase of 26.59%; sales ratio was 97.13%, to achieve the main business income of 588.9 billion yuan, an increase of 24.98%; total profit of 53.1 billion yuan, an increase of 23.75%.

Since September last year, in October, the order of the lines of business decreased significantly, and the general business has long been a similar situation.

Reduced as a result of the project, the automation control system devices industry in the second half of last year growth fell almost to the end of the annual minimum increase; experimental analytical instruments industry throughout the year, basically in the low momentum, sales growth is lagging far behind the industry-wide.

Operating conditions of tight

2012, the instrumentation industry profits extraordinary growth came to an end, the increase in the profits return to normal.

According to reports, the industry's profits last year fell faster than the production and marketing, business conditions tight. Phasing out the previous two years to address the financial crisis and other policy measures, raw materials, labor costs, finance costs rise, and the appreciation of the renminbi and other reasons, the instrumentation industry profits year-on-year increase of 39.9% since the beginning of high decline, and ultimately return to the metal tube rotameter, production and sales increase in synchronization region. Economic data is beginning to slacken. Interest, finance charges, inventory, accounts receivable, taxes, the main cost of year-on-year increases were higher than the rate of profit growth; losses and the number of loss-making enterprises increased; substantial growth in receivables, receivables decline in the quality to become a prominent problem. After years of development the industry level of product technology has gradually increased the profit margins of the main income synchronization, and last year reached a historical high of 9.02 percent. In particular, industrial automatic control system the main income of the industry profit margin of more than 10%. At the same time, the increase in the import and export of the instrumentation industry, double down, the deficit continues to rise, reaching $ 17.3 billion, another record high.

The effectiveness of structural adjustment is significant

In 2012, the instrumentation industry, technological progress and the results of structural adjustment.

In the field of petroleum and petrochemical, domestic control system has been applied in 10 million tons / year oil refining installations, and has received orders for 15 million tons / year oil refining installations; 450,000 tons / year of synthetic ammonia and 800,000 tons / year of urea a full set of equipment made control system has been put into operation. Domestic smart pressure / differential pressure transmitters of technical indicators and scale of production has reached the level of similar foreign products, and important national project. It is reported that the multi-channel ultrasonic gas flowmeter in the long-distance gas pipeline project applications to break the monopoly of foreign metal tube rotameter . At the same time, industrial restructuring has achieved no small success.
