Seeding material

It has come to our attention that another company making acoustic flow measurements systems recommends their customers to contact Nortek for the availability of seeding material.

Nortek provides seeding material as a service to our customers but we are not organized to deliver the material to other users.  For people using third party instruments we suggest contacting our representatives for possible availability of small quantities or to contact the source directly.  

The manufacturer of the seeding material is Potters Industries and the 'Sphericel' particles are actually used as an additive to plastic construction materials. Minimum purchase quantity from Potters is 50lb.

Dear Atle,

First of all, I wish you a happy new year!

This post about seeding material is relatively old. I am not sure if it is already valid. In fact, I use Nortek Vectrino. I need a pack with 45lb. Should I order through Nortek or.....?

I live in Italy.

Best regards

Ali

Ali,

I would recommend contacting your local Potters Industries distributor for this quantity. Nortek typically only ships a half liter bottle with the Vectrino and isn't equipped to supply such a large quantity unfortunately. It looks like there is a distributor in Rome:
