Delta Controls Founded
On July 24th, 1972 Delta Controls Corporation is founded as a manufacturer of engineered automation and instrumentation systems.
Sulfur Recovery Temperature
Delta is challenged by EPC company to engineer a thermocouple capable of successfully withstanding the corrosive and high temperature process conditions of sulfur recovery units. The ‘Series HT Acid Gas Thermocouple’ is put into production effectively solving the industry’s issue of thermocouple failure in sulfur recovery units.
Innovative Capacitance Technology
The 100-series capacitance line is put into production, later introducing the two-wire capacitance technology in 1987.
Mechanical & Flow Instrumentation
The 600-series flow switches and 700-series mechanical level switches are put into production.
Ultrasonic Technology
The 800-series ultrasonic transmitter line is developed and produced, later introducing the Model 858 Ultrasonic Alarm/Controller in 1989.
Hyrdrostatic Pressure
The 500-series hydrostatic pressure transmitter line is developed and put into production.
New Facility
Delta moves from the original facility to a newly constructed facility in Shreveport, LA.
Ultrasonic Flow
The Model 658 Ultrasonic Flow Meter is put into production.
Solid Level Detection
The 800-series Kodata level sensors for solid materials are put into production.
Claus Pyrometer
The Model HIR sulfur recovery infrared temperature transmitter is introduced in 2003, utilizing a steam jacketed lens assembly and drift-free remote electronics for reliable Claus Reactor temperature measurement.
ATEX HTX Thermocouple
The HTX Thermocouple is put into production in 2005, providing an ATEX version of the popular HTP Thermocouple.
Founder E.E. Brown
Delta Controls founder E.E. Brown passes away in 2005.
Handheld Pyrometer
The HIP Handheld Infrared Pyrometer is put into production in 2013.
Delta Controls Acquisition
Delta is acquired by local investment company resulting in a seamless transition and continued operations in Shreveport, LA.
