What Is a Coriolis Mass Flow Meter?
Coriolis mass flow meter is a new type of traffic measuring instrument developed by our company in accordance with the principle of Korioli. Can directly measure the mass flow and density of the fluid in the closed pipeline. The flow meter is composed of the flow measurement sensor and the signal converter.
Coriolis mass flow meter is a device that measures liquid, steam or gas quality flow through the pipeline system. It is considered to be the most accurate quality flowmeter type, and is widely used in industrial applications, laboratories and other situations that require high precision.
Coriolis mass flow meter uses motion to measure the rate of liquid and gas flowing through the pipeline. Coriolis mass flow meter is accurate and widely used, which can be used to measure various fluids.
How Does a Coriolis Flow Meter Work?
Coriolis mass flow meter uses Korio’s effect to measure quality flow. That is, when the fluid flows through the vibration pipe, it will generate a proportional to reversing force to the tube, and then the sensor will detect the torture force to determine the flow.
Coriolis mass flow meter measures quality through inertia. When a mass point in the tube with P as a fixed point (rotation center) is used to move the rotation center or the departure center, it will generate an inertial force. The liquid or gas flows through a pipe vibration vibration by a small force.
For specific rotation pipes, the frequency characteristics are certain, so the quality flow can be measured directly or indirectly. In essence, the faster the fluid flows, the greater the torsional force in the tube. Therefore, quality flow can be measured directly without considering pressure or temperature changes.
