What Scientific Devices does

Scientific Devices (Bombay) Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian industrial instrumentation manufacturer founded in 1993 and headquartered in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, with two manufacturing facilities in Thane. The company designs and produces flow, level, pressure, and temperature measurement instruments, alongside complementary process equipment such as pipeline strainers, sight flow indicators, flame arresters, and breather valves. Its product portfolio spans vortex, electromagnetic, turbine, Coriolis, thermal mass, oval gear, ultrasonic, and rotameter flowmeters; ultrasonic, hydrostatic, capacitance, radar, magnetic, reflex, and float-type level instruments; pressure transmitters, gauges, differential pressure transmitters, manometers, and Macleod gauges; plus RTD/thermocouple assemblies, temperature transmitters, and infrared thermometers. Several product lines incorporate integrated GSM/GPRS modules for wireless remote monitoring, SMS alerting, and cloud-server data reporting.

The company sells predominantly on a direct-quotation basis to enterprise and EPC buyers in process industries, supplemented by a formalized international distributor network across 35+ countries. Its customers include major Indian public-sector undertakings and large private-sector EPC majors across oil & gas, refining, power, nuclear, steel, cement, marine, water treatment, and engineering consultancy. Multiple third-party certifications (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, CE, NABL, DNV-GL marine type approvals, and Indian Boiler Registration) serve as gating credentials for regulated tenders, and the company claims 5M+ cumulative installations worldwide over three decades.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of industrial instrumentation, with no disclosed recurring software, subscription, or aftermarket service layer. Pricing is not publicly listed; all sales proceed via direct quotation. Distribution is split between direct enterprise field sales within India and a structured international distributor program, with marketing supported through the corporate website, downloadable brochures, and an online distributor portal. The company is privately held, founder/family-controlled per available commentary, MSME-registered, and operates without disclosed external investors or institutional shareholders.
