Coriolis flow meter to measure fuel flow
rate
Coriolis flow meter is a kind of mass flow
meter to measure fuel flow rate and total flow. Inline digital mass fuel flow
meter with electronic indicator and various output ( 4-20mA & pulse ) for different control
purpose.
What Is A Coriolis Flowmeter?
A coriolis flowmeter is essentially a mass
flow meter or a digital fuel flow meter that measures the quantity or amount or
a mass of fuel, rather than its volume that flows through the closed pipe or
tube. Approximately, there are 100,000 Coriolis flowmeters installed on the gas
or fuel applications in the world which range from combustion control to
custody transfer.
Why You Should Use Coriolis Flow Meter To
Measure Fuel
1. Features of Coriolis flow meter to measure fuel
-
A Coriolis mass flow meter is able to
directly measure a mass flow of a fluid in the pipeline without converting the
intermediate parameters, avoiding a measurement error.
-
Moreover, it has high accuracy up to 0.15%
as well as repeatability in a mass flow measurement, and is good at directly
measuring fluid mass flow within the bigger rangeability.
-
The flow meter can measure a vast range of
fluids. Besides measuring uniform fluids of a general viscosity, it is also
able to measure a vast variety of a high viscosity, non-Newtonian fluids.
-
Moreover, there are no obstructions and
even moving parts inside a flow meter pipe itself, through which the fluid
flows, meaning it is a high reliability, long product life that doesn't require
daily maintenance.
-
Another great thing is that digital fuel
mass flow meter can measure the temperature
and density of the passing fuel directly. Also, it can provide display as well
as output of various parameters, high accuracy and instantaneous accumulation,
making it a multi-function integrated flow that measures instrument.
2. Advantages
-
Electronic fuel mass flow sensor directly
takes measurement of a mass flow with high measurement accuracy.
-
Moreover, mass flowmeter comes with a wide
range of the measurable fluids, including liquid-solid two-phase fluids, high
viscosity fluids; liquid-gas two-phase fluids which contain trace gases as well
as high and medium pressure gases of a sufficient density.
-
The non-uniform flow velocity distribution
and vortex flow which are caused by both upstream and downstream pipelines
don't have any influence on the performance of a flow sensor. A change in fluid
viscosity doesn't have any significant effect on a measured value and a change
in fluid density has very little effect on a measured value.
-
There exist multiple outputs from digital
mass flow meter which are able to simultaneously output an instantaneous mass
flow or a volume flow, fluid temperature, fluid density and many other signals.
It also comes with several digital output and input ports as well as some
models which realize the batch control functions.
-
Mass fuel flow meter can also take a
measurement of high viscosity fluids like crude oil, residual oil, heavy oil,
and many other liquids which come with higher viscosity.
-
Previously, target flowmeters, volumetric
flowmeters, etc. were used for measuring flow. But now, Coriolis mass
flowmeters are usually used with accurate measurement results and good
reliability.
Applications
It can efficiently detect the flow of all
the liquids, including non-Newtonian and Newtonian as well as the flow of
moderately dense gases.
Additionally, self-draining designs are
easily available for sanitary applications which meet all the clean-in-place
requirements.
