The first step to find the solution
• The first step in finding a solution for a flow metering point is finding the best suitable measuring
technology
• The selection is based on the requirements of the measuring point e.g.:

Rough classification of applications
• Conductive liquids
>80% of all liquids are conductive (Drinking- and waste water,
beverages acids
beverages,
acids, alkalines
alkalines, etc
etc.))
• Non conductive liquids
Oils, hydro carbons, liquefied gases, demineralized water
• Gas
Air, nitrogen, natural gas, biogas, etc.
• Steam
Saturated and superheated steam
• Special applications
Abrasive slurries, custody transfer, measurement from
outside, bidirectional, etc.

Coriolis flow meter advantages
• Universal measuring principle for liquids and gases
• Simultaneous and direct measurement of mass
flow density
flow,
density, temperature and viscosity
(multivariable sensors)
• Measuring principle is independent of the physical
fluid properties
p p
• Very high measuring accuracy
– typically ±0.1% o.r.
– optionally ±0.05% o.r.
• Not affected by flow profile
• No inlet/outlet runs necessary

Coriolis flow meter disadvantages:
• Relatively high initial investment.
• Outlay for installation can be considerable, depending on the design
and manufacturer
manufacturer.
• Limited temperature range: typically –50 to +350 °C (–60 to +660 °F).
• Restricted usability if the gas content of the fluid is high and in the
case of multi-phase fluids.
• Larger
