![]() ![]() Therefore, the higher the flowing velocity, typically the larger the pressure drop created. Most Coriolis sensors, however, create a pressure drop due to the reduction from nominal pipe diameter to the inner tube diameters. Typically, this is between 3 ft/s and 33 ft/s. How to size a Coriolis flowmeter?Ĭoriolis flowmeters have a minimum and maximum fluid velocity range in which they measure with full accuracy. Other than that, you can install a Coriolis meter pretty much anywhere you can fit it in your process. In a gas application, you want to install horizontal with the tubes pointed up, or in a vertical pipe run to ensure any moisture droplets will not settle in the tubes. You will want to avoid installing in the highest point in a liquid pipeline, or in a down flowing pipe into a large vessel or tank. In a liquid application, you want to ensure the meter remains full of liquid and cannot get gas bubbles trapped in the tubes. The only other consideration is the installation orientation and location based on the process. This is because the meter is making a direct mass measurement of the fluid in the tubes and doesn’t need a uniform flow profile for accurate performance. A Coriolis flowmeter does not require any straight inlet or outlet runs of pipe to measure accurately. One of the biggest advantages of Coriolis flowmeters is the ease of installation. ![]() Coriolis flowmeters also are ideal in gas measurement because the Coriolis principle is not fluid property dependent. In the food and beverage industry, the lack of moving components, hygienic designs and multiparameter measurements make Coriolis flowmeters the ideal technology for critical installations. In the oil and gas industry, simultaneous measurement of density and mass flow allows for high precision measurement in oil barrels without using fixed density values or estimations. The direct mass measurementallows for maximum precision in chemical applications and life science applications where chemical reactions are based on fluid mass quantities. Why should I use a Coriolis flowmeter in my application?Ĭoriolis flowmeters offer unparalleled accuracy, multiparameter measurement and installation ease in comparison to any other flow measurement technology. ![]()
