Coriolis Flow Meter

What is Coriolis flowmeter and how does it operate?

The F1001 Coriolis Mass Flow Meter utilizes two parallel arranged pipes rotated at their resonant frequency by coils. Any mass flow passing through the tubes generates Coriolis forces, which occur whenever mass moves radially in a rotating system. These forces have opposing effects on the inlet and outlet sides, causing slight deformations in the pipes. Sensors on both the inlet and outlet sides detect the excursion of the pipes. The phase shift between the rotational frequencies of both pipes is proportional to the mass flow rate.

Additionally, the resonant frequency of both pipes changes in accordance with the density of the medium, allowing for density determination. With one sensor, density and temperature can also be measured. The extent of pipe deformation depends on temperature, so temperature measurement is crucial for compensation purposes.

The F1001-Series Coriolis mass flowmeter offers unparalleled performance in mass flow, density, and temperature measurement. It goes beyond by providing real-time calculations of volume flow, total flow, and fluid composition. Presently, it boasts three distinct styles: M type sensor, U type sensor, and S type sensor, each complemented by its own compact and remote meters.

Typically, a standard mass flowmeter comprises a flow sensor and a signal transmitter. The flow sensor features two vibration-equipped flow tubes that generate signals for pickoff. Simultaneously, the signal transmitter incorporates a digital signal processor (DSP) and a dynamic vibration balance (DVB) circuit, ensuring both rapid response and precise measurement accuracy. Moreover, the F1001-Series offers versatility with its compact and remote meter options for each sensor style.

Facilitating seamless in situ operations, the mass flowmeter supports node-configuration, diagnostics, and data recording effortlessly through HART or Modbus RTU communication. This ensures that users can efficiently manage and monitor the device, enhancing overall operational control and reliability. Upgrade your fluid measurement capabilities with the advanced features and versatility of the F1001-Series Coriolis mass flowmeter.
