What we do!

Applications

Seeing inside pipes, into vessels, through opaque barriers and weighing without touching, using non intrusive electromagnetic measurements such as Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT), Magnetic Inductance Tomography (MIT), Electrical Velocity Tomography (EVT), and other novel techniques

Research

Atout is committed to research in, and the development of, advanced non-intrusive electromagnetic measurement systems based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT), Magnetic Inductance Tomography (MIT), Electrical Velocity Tomography (EVT) and other novel techniques.

We provide bespoke solutions for some of the most difficult measurement problems in many industry sectors including food, energy, oil & gas, aerospace and defense.

Consultancy

Atout undertakes a wide range of consultancy projects in the application and use of non-invasive electromagnetic measurement techniques and fluid dynamics. We have the expertise to answer both your technical and engineering questions, along with commercial and market considerations. Key areas of technical know-how include Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT), Magnetic Inductance Tomography (MIT), Electrical Velocity Tomography (EVT), fluid dynamics and multiphase flow metering. We also have broad knowledge of many industry sectors, particularly Oil and Gas, aerospace, and scientific instruments.

Smart Tanks for Space

March 12, 2020 | No Comments

Atout is pleased to announce the award of two more patents on our Smart Tank and Smart Pipe technology. Atout’s Smart Tanks for Space* are tanks that know their own contents even in zero gravity or under severe sloshing conditions. The tank knows how much fluid it contains, how it is moving and how much force the sloshing will exert on the tank. The technology is based on Atout’s Smart Pipe technology that measures the flow of complex mixtures of fluids and solids in pipes. Our technology is now protected in the UK and the USA, see patents GB2546522B and
