How do Coriolis meters measure density?
measures mass flow and density In a Coriolis meter, the material to be measured passes through one or more oscillating tubes; the rate at which mass flows affects the oscillation of the tubes, and from this both mass flow and density can be determined.
Can Coriolis measure volume?
Coriolis meters are true mass meters that measure the mass rate of flow directly, as opposed to measuring volume flow.
When was the Coriolis meter invented?
The first industrial Coriolis patents date back to the 1950s with the first Coriolis mass flow meters built in the 1970s.
What is Dall flow tube?
The Dall tube is a shortened version of a Venturi meter, with a lower pressure drop than an orifice plate. As with these flow meters the flow rate in a Dall tube is determined by measuring the pressure drop caused by restriction in the conduit.
How does a thermal mass flow meter work?
The thermal mass meter measures gas flow based on the concept of convective heat transfer. Gas flows by the heated flow sensor, and molecules of the gas transport heat away, the sensor cools, and energy is lost. In either case, the meter’s probe inserts into a gas stream of a pipe, stack, or duct.
What is a target meter?
A target meter is used to measure the dirty or corrosive liquids, not all the fluids would be clean and we need to measure the dirty fluids and it can be done by using a target meter. A target meter can also be used to measure the gases with dust particles.
How do you calibrate a thermal mass flow meter?
Thermal Flow Meter Factory Calibration The calibration process involves placing the sensor in one of several different test sections, flowing a known amount of gas through the pipe and then measuring the signal to obtain the desired overheat. This is done at minimum 12 times over the operating range.
What is high thermal mass?
‘Thermal mass’ describes a material’s capacity to absorb, store and release heat. For example water and concrete have a high capacity to store heat and are referred to as ‘high thermal mass’ materials.
