An overview of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter as a Direct Mass Flow Measurement Device

Vikram A. Kolhe, Ravindra L. Edlabadkar

Abstract


Measurement of mass flow rate is an important
aspect in various industrial & irrigation
applications. In recent years, Coriolis mass
flowmeters have emerged as the fastest growing
fluid metering technology due to its ability of
direct mass flow measurement with greater
accuracy & reliability. This paper gives a brief
overview about the important research efforts
undertaken experimentally and theoretically in
the development of Coriolis mass flow meter.
The paper mainly focuses on the research efforts
conducted on various aspects of the meter like
tube geometries, vibration, dynamic response of
the meter, effect of velocity profile on the
performance of metre.
