Coriolis flow measurement and control for very low flow rates of liquid or gas.
When you need the most precise liquid or gas flow measurement accuracy and flow control flexibility at low flow rates, consider a Coriolis flow meter or flow controller for your process. Also known as liquid flow controllers, a Coriolis gas flow meter uses proven direct mass flow measurement technology rather than inferred mass flow measurement (from volumetric flow and density) to provide the precise flow measurement and control of liquids and gases many key industries require.
Coriolis Mass Flow Measurement Accuracy
A Coriolis-type flow meter is the only type of flow sensor currently available that provides a direct mass flow measurement. This unique sensor property is the foundation of Coriolis flow meter accuracy: A direct mass flow measurement occurs when a flow sensor device directly measures the mass flow rate of the fluid. This is done without needing to capture or measure additional fluid properties and incorporate those properties into the flow rate calculation.
A Coriolis flow meter is a single instrument that provides an accurate mass flow measurement while density, viscosity and specific heat of the liquid or gas may change. As a result, Coriolis mass flow measurement is immune to fluid property variations.
