Advantages of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter | disadvantages of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter
This page covers advantages and disadvantages of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter. It mentions Coriolis Mass Flowmeter advantages or benefits and Coriolis Mass Flowmeter disadvantages or drawbacks.
What is Coriolis Mass Flowmeter?
Introduction:
• In this meter "swinging" is generated by vibration of the tubes through
which fluid flows.
• Amount of twist is proportional to mass flow rate of the fluid passing
through the tubes.
• Coriolis mass flowmeter and sensors are used to measure twist and
consecutively generate linear flow signal.
• This meter is used to measure mass flow of liquids e.g.
ammonia, acids, water, chemicals, gases/vapors etc.
• In this meter, measurement is not affected by fluid density changes
as mass flow is being measured.
Benefits or advantages of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter
Following are the benefits or advantages of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter:
➨It offers measurement of true mass flow.
➨In addition to mass flow, it provides
measurement of temperature as well as density.
➨It offers very high accuracy measurements of
mass flow and density.
➨It has now been developed for large line sizes upto
14 inches.
➨It can handle sanitary applications.
➨It offers high reliability.
➨The results are not affected due to
temperature, pressure and viscosity.
➨Inlet and Outlet sections are not needed.
➨It operates in both the directions
i.e. forward/reverse.
➨Measurement range can be optimized
for flow rate/density measurement.
➨It gets drained automatically.
Drawbacks or disadvantages of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter
Following are the drawbacks or disadvantages of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter:
➨The meter is affected due to gas inclusions.
➨It is vibration sensitive when it is installed
improperly.
➨Very few materials can be used for its construction.
➨It has limited nominal diameter for use at its top part.
➨It has high initial cost.
➨It becomes expensive and
unwieldy for line sizes greater than 4 inches.
➨Gas flow measurement is difficult due to low
density of gas.
➨Pressure drop is observed for bent tube meters.
