How it started

History

Kam Controls was founded in 1983 when ExxonMobil approached company founder Kam Mohajer to design an instrument to measure the volume of oil in marine offloading that would be unaffected by sediment. In response, the KAM UFM Ultrasonic Flow Meter was designed with no moving parts

The second product to be introduced was the KAM KF Karl Fischer Moisture Analyzer, a Karl Fischer titrator for hydrocarbons.
