Coriolis mass flow meter advantages and disadvantages
-
Design Pressure: 400 bar
-
Design Temperature: -200 to 300 Deg. C
-
Sizes: 3 mm to 150 mm
-
Fluids/ Applications : Liquids (clean/ dirty/viscous/ slurries) clean /liquified gases
-
Flow range: 0 – 600 ton/hr
-
Material of tube: mostly in stainless steel
-
Accuracy is + 0.1% to + 0.5% of flowrate
-
Range ability is 20 : 1
-
Bidirectional flow measurement
-
Meassured variable: mass flow, volume flow, temperature and density.
-
Output: Pulse, 4~20mA, RS485, HART
-
Power supply: 85~265VAC or 18~36VDC
-
-
1.Capable of measuring difficult handling fluids
-
2.Independent of density changes, flow profile and flow turbulence. Hence straight lengths are not required.
-
3.No routine maintenance required since no moving parts
-
4.High accuracy
-
-
1. Not available for large pipes (upto 150 mm only)
-
2. High flow velocities required for detection resulting in high pressure drop
-
3. Expensive compared to other flowmeters
-
4. Difficulty in measuring low pressure gases.
