Coriolis Mass Flowmeters Overview

Coriolis Flowmeters

Coriolis Flow Meter Overview: Coriolis flow meters rely on the Earth’s coriolis effect to measure fluid mass flow rates. Inside of the Coriolis Flowmeter’s flow-body, flow is diverted into two parallel sensor flow tubes which are vibrated in opposition to one another by energizing a drive coil. The phase shift, which is measured by Hall Effect sensors mounted at the sensor tubes’ inlet and outlets, is caused by the Coriolis Effect and is directly proportional to the mass of the media flowing through the tubes. Thus, the Coriolis Flowmeter is a true Mass Flowmeter.

In addition to providing a direct mass flow reading, the Coriolis Flowmeter offers a number of other advantages. Perhaps the biggest advantage is its’ multi-parameter measurement capability – the Coriolis Meter provides direct mass and volumetric flow rate, process temperature and density readings. It can also provide inferred readings for density dependent parameters such as % water-in-oil, degrees Brix and degrees Baume. Another advantage of the Coriolis Flow is that there is no requirement for pipe straight runs upstream and downstream of the meter.
