Coriolis Flow Meters: The Gold Standard in Flow Measurement

Overview of Coriolis Flow Meters

Coriolis flow meters are among the most accurate and reliable tools available for measuring fluid flow. Unlike conventional flow meters, they measure mass flow directly, using the principles of the Coriolis effect. This makes them ideal for applications where precision and repeatability are critical.

How Coriolis Flow Meters Work

Coriolis meters feature one or more tubes that coriolis meter vibrate in a controlled manner. When fluid flows through the vibrating tubes, it causes a measurable distortion—known as the Coriolis effect. The degree of this distortion is directly related to the mass flow rate.

Measurement Outputs:

• Mass Flow
• Density
• Temperature
• Volume Flow (calculated)

Benefits of Coriolis Flow Meters

• Exceptional Accuracy: Typically ±0.1% or better
• Direct Mass Flow Measurement: Eliminates the need for additional pressure or temperature compensation
• Minimal Maintenance: No moving parts to wear out
• Handles Diverse Fluids: Effective with gases, slurries, viscous liquids, and more

Typical Use Cases

Coriolis meters are versatile and used in a wide range of sectors:

Food & Beverage Industry

• Monitoring syrup and liquid ingredient flows
• Meeting sanitary standards with clean-in-place (CIP) compatibility
