How does the Micro Motion Coriolis meter measure mass flow?
Fluid enters the sensor and travels through the sensor’s flow tube(s), which vibrate and twist. The twisting characteristic is called the Coriolis effect. According to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, the amount of sensor tube twist is directly proportional to the mass flow rate of the fluid flowing through the tube. The Micro Motion TUTOR training program features an animated flow theory demonstration. This is true because all fluids expand and contract with temperature, but especially true with gases because of their compressibility under pressure.
