Coriolis meters for mass measurement
October 2001
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
As some of the most accurate fluid measurement devices available, Micro Motion's Coriolis meters increase process efficiency by reducing product variability and waste, and by improving product quality. Savings are to be had by not having to settle for costly off-spec product, rework, or scrap.
Direct mass measurement
Because mass is unaffected by changes in pressure or temperature, mass measurement is the most accurate way to measure flow. And an accurate way to measure mass is to measure it directly using Micro Motion's Coriolis meters. Unlike volumetric devices that require additional pressure and temperature devices to convert to mass, a single Micro Motion meter does it all, with greater accuracy. Using Micro Motion Coriolis, you will dramatically improve the accuracy and repeatability of your flow measurements and reduce the number of devices you need to install and maintain - all of which improve your profitability.
Measure density - on-line
Micro Motion sensors provide accurate, on-line density measurement that offers a realtime 'window' into the process. Using the Micro Motion density measurement, the user can determine specific gravity, concentration, %solids, %HFCS, °Brix, °Plato, °Balling, °Baumé, °API, net oil, water cut, and other industry standard units. Micro Motion has over 30 000 meters installed in density applications - some in the most demanding process applications.
Multivariable measurement - from a single device
All Micro Motion Coriolis meters measure:
* Mass flow rate.
* Volume flow rate.
* Density.
* Temperature.
Getting more from the measurement device means less capital expenditure, reduced installation and maintenance costs, and most important, a better return on the user's measurement investment.
Low cost of ownership
When comparing the lifetime cost of Coriolis meters to other measurement technologies, it is surprising just how cost-effective they are. The meters pay for themselves many times over by improving product quality, reducing waste, and freeing up equipment and human resources that would otherwise be spent on maintenance.
* Improved accuracy and repeatability mean improved product quality and reduced waste.
* Easy installation means no mounting supports or flow conditioning required.
* No moving parts and nonintrusive mean low maintenance.
Micro Motion believes that its industry-leading research and development efforts have yielded Coriolis meters with the highest immunity to fluctuations in pressure, temperature and plant vibration.
With over a quarter of a million meters installed around the world, in nearly every conceivable application, Micro Motion has the know-how to help clients improve their processes. In thousands of applications and plants, its factory-trained Coriolis flow specialists solve flow and density problems.
