Versatile Measuring Instruments provides effective sourcing solutions for the Nuclear Power Industry.

Whether your sourcing challenges include Commercial Grade Dedication, product obsolescence or new product development VMI is able to help.

From initial specification through prototyping, qualification testing, manufacturing and shipping, Versatile provides the right product on time and on budget.

Versatile Measuring Instruments originally supplied products to the North American nuclear power industry as “Thermovolt” in the 1960’s, producing temperature sensors, relays, panel meters and other I&C components. Sigma Instruments purchased the company in 1969 and merged it into Sigma’s “International Instruments” meter manufacturing group.

In 1983 the company was bought by its Canadian management, and became Versatile Measuring instruments. VMI now has instrumentation in all CANDU reactors in Canada and internationally as well as many American reactors.

Under new management since 2005, the company has focused on building and expanding its quality assurance scope to satisfy both the Canadian and American nuclear markets. Please see our Quality Assurance page to review our spectrum of Canadian (CSA Z299.2) and American (10CFR50 Appendix B) qualifications, including Commercial Grade Dedication.

Besides the company’s extensive array of qualified panel meters and other nuclear instrumentation, Versatile has developed a solid reputation for I&C component design, manufacture and integration for safety and non-safety related applications.

Designing new “form fit and function” visually identical replacements for legacy products is our specialty. VMI understands the need to use analog designs that meet today’s qualifications for legacy safety related applications.

Our design process includes specification review, design, prototyping, qualification (EMC, Seismic, EQ, functional), manufacturing and shipping. This process is applied to discreet components as well as providing complete integrated control panel solutions.

Utilizing the Amidyne Group’s extensive internal development resources and Strategic Alliances with a number of labs and design houses in the United States and Canada, Versatile is able to provide product design and reverse engineering services in a timely and cost effective manner under the required nuclear quality assurance program.

Versatile Measuring Instruments has the pedigree, the products, the engineering design staff and the quality assurance programs in place to solve your nuclear sourcing problems, whether your requirement is for a refurbishment or a new build, in Canada, The United States or Internationally.
