Liquid Mass Flow Meter working principle

Coriolis mass flowmeters measure the force resulting from the acceleration, caused by mass moving toward (or away from) a center of rotation.

This effect can be experienced, when riding a merry-go-round, where moving toward the center will cause a person to have to “lean into” the rotation so as to maintain balance.

As related to flowmeters, the effect can be demonstrated by flowing water in a loop of flexible hose, that is “swung” back and forth in front of the body with both hands. Because the water is flowing toward and away from the hands, opposite forces are generated and cause the hose to twist.

They represent about 21% of all flowmeters sold.

In a Coriolis mass flowmeter, the “swinging” is generated by vibrating the tube(s) in which the fluid flows.

The amount of twist is proportional to the mass flow rate of fluid passing through the tube(s).

Sensors and a Coriolis mass flowmeter transmitter are used to measure the twist and generate a linear flow signal.

How do you calculate mass flow rate?

As shown, when a mass point of mass m moves at a velocity υ in a pipe that rotates at an angular velocity ω for the p-axis, the particle is subjected to acceleration of two components and its force.

a. The normal acceleration is the centripetal force acceleration αr, the magnitude of which is equal to ω2r, the direction is toward the P axis;

b. Tangential acceleration αt is the Coriolis acceleration, the magnitude of which is equal to 2ωυ, and the direction is perpendicular to αr.

Due to the compound motion,

Coriolis Fc=2ωυm acts on the αt direction of the particle, and the pipe acts on the particle with a reverse force of -Fc= -2ωυm.

When a fluid of density ρ flows at a constant velocity in a rotating pipe, any pipe of length Δx will be subjected to a tangential Coriolis force of ΔFc.

Where A is the cross-sectional area of the pipeline. Since the flow rate of the mass flow meter is δm, δm=ρυA.

Therefore, directly or indirectly measuring the Coriolis force generated by the flowing fluid in the rotating pipe can measure the mass flow, which is the basic principle of the Coriolis mass flowmeter.

However, it is difficult to generate Coriolis force by the rotary motion.

At present, the product is replaced by a pipe vibration, that is, a thin-walled measuring tube fixed by two broken ends,at the midpoint of the measuring tube resonance or near resonance frequency.

Excitation, the fluid flowing in the tube generates Coriolis force, causing the opposite direction of deflection in the front and rear half points of the measuring tube. And electromagnetically detecting the amount of deflection to obtain mass flow.

Since the density of the fluid affects the vibration frequency of the measuring tube, and the density has a fixed relationship with the frequency, the mass flow meter can also measure the fluid density.

How Does a Coriolis Flow Meter Work?

As shown in the figure, when a mass point with a mass of m moves at a speed υ in a pipe rotating at an angular velocity ω on the p axis, the mass point is subjected to the acceleration and force of two components.

a. Normal acceleration is the centripetal force acceleration αr, its magnitude is equal to ω2r, and the direction is toward the P axis;
b. Tangential acceleration αt is Coriolis acceleration, its magnitude is equal to 2ωυ, and the direction is perpendicular to αr.
Due to the compound motion, Coriolis Fc=2ωυm acts in the αt direction of the particle, and the pipe acts on the particle with a reverse force -Fc= -2ωυm.

When a fluid with a density of ρ flows at a constant speed υ in a rotating pipe, any pipe with a length of Δx will experience a tangential Coriolis force of ΔFc.

(1)

In the formula, A-the internal cross-sectional area of the pipeline. Since the mass flow rate is δm, δm=ρυA.
And so

(2)

Therefore, the mass flow can be measured by directly or indirectly measuring the Coriolis force generated by the fluid flowing in the rotating pipe. This is the basic principle of the Coriolis mass flowmeter.

However, it is difficult to generate Coriolis force by rotating motion. The current products are all replaced by pipe vibration, which is a thin-walled measuring tube fixed by two broken ends. At the midpoint, it is excited at or near the resonance of the measuring tube. The fluid flowing in the tube generates Coriolis force, which causes the two halves of the measuring tube to be deflected in opposite directions. Electromagnetic method is used to detect the amount of deflection to obtain the mass flow rate.

The fluid density will affect the vibration frequency of the measuring tube. The density has a fixed relationship with frequency. Therefore, mass flow meters can also measure fluid density.

Advantages and Disadvantages of coriolis flow meter

Advantage

• The Coriolis mass flow meter directly measures the mass flow rate with high measurement accuracy.
• It can measure a wide range of fluids, including high-viscosity liquids, slurries containing solids, liquids containing trace gases, and medium and high-pressure gases with sufficient density.
• The measuring tube has a small vibration amplitude and can be regarded as a non-moving part, and there are no obstructions and moving parts in the measuring pipe.
• It is not sensitive to the flow velocity distribution of the upflow, so there is no requirement for upstream and downstream straight pipes.
• The measured value is not sensitive to the fluid viscosity, and the change of fluid density has little effect on the measured value.
• Multi-parameter measurement can be done, such as measuring density at the same time, and deriving the concentration of solute in the measurement solution from this.

Disadvantage

• The instability of the zero point of the Coriolis mass flowmeter results in zero drift, which affects the further improvement of its accuracy. Many types of meters have to divide the total error into two parts, the basic error and the zero point instability measurement.
• Coriolis mass flow meters cannot be used to measure low-density media and low-pressure gases; the gas content in the liquid exceeds a certain limit (varies by model), which will significantly affect the measured value.
• Coriolis mass flowmeters are more sensitive to external vibration interference. In order to prevent the impact of pipeline vibration, most models of Coriolis mass flowmeters require relatively high installation and fixation of flow sensors.
• It cannot be used for larger pipe diameters, and is currently limited to 150 (200) mm or less.
• The inner wall of the measuring tube is worn, corroded, or deposited and scaled, which will affect the measurement accuracy, especially for the Coriolis mass flowmeter of the thin-walled tube.
• The pressure loss is relatively large, which is equivalent to that of volumetric meters. Some Coriolis mass flow meters are even 100% larger than volumetric meters.
• Most models of Coriolis mass flow meters are larger in weight and volume.
• Expensive. The overseas price is 5,000 to 10,000 US dollars for a set, which is about 2 to 5 times that of the electromagnetic flowmeter of the same caliber; the Chinese price is about 2 to 8 times that of the electromagnetic flowmeter.

Coriolis flow meter installation

Installation Requirements for Coriolis Mass Flowmeters

Installation Requirements for Coriolis Mass Flowmeters

When choose Flowmeter, many enterprises will choose Coriolis mass Flowmeter under reasonable cost. Under the correct installation, Coriolis mass Flowmeter can directy measure the mass and density of fluid. Only reasonable installation can ensure the accuracy and stability of mass Flowmeter.

1. Conventional of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter Installation

At least 0.6 m distance between the sensor and a large transmitter or motor. Since the sensor depends on the electromagnetic field. It is necessary to avoid installing the sensor near the large interference electromagnetic field. In addition, the installation position should be carefully selected to avoid vibration as far as possible.

2. Installation Direction

The requirements of the process and the location of the process pipeline have determined the installation direction of most sensors.While the sensor installation angle does not affect the flowmeter operation, the following recommendations should be considered to the extent possible:

• (1) When measuring the liquid. The sensor housing shall be mounted downward to avoid air gathering in the flow tube;
• (2) When measuring the gas. The sensor housing shall be mounted upward to avoid condensation water gathering in the flow tube;
• (3) When measuring liquid slurry. The sensor shall be mounted vertically, like a flag, to avoid the accumulation of particles in the flow tube. The process medium should flow from the bottom up to avoid the jet tube.

3. Valves

In order to facilitate Flowmeter zero adjustment, the downstream sensor should be installed globe valve. To facilitate batch operation, sensors and globe valves should be as close as possible to the receiving container.

Hose should not be installed between sensor and globe valve to avoid batch error caused by expansion or compression. Also, control valves can be installed downstream to prevent vaporization or emptying of the medium.

4. Flow direction of mass flow meter installation

No matter what flow direction, the flow sensor can accurately measure the flow rate. The normal flow direction of the fluid is indicated by arrows on the general sensor.

5. Gas&liquid two-phase flow

If the process medium produces a gas-liquid two-phase flow, the sensor housing should be installed down or on a vertical pipe. This installation can effectively avoid the accumulation of gas in the medium in the flow tube.

In loading and unloading metering applications, the sensor housing should be mounted upwards or vertically. One-way valves should be installed downstream of the sensor to prevent medium reflux. One-way valves should be installed as close as possible to the sensor.

In some cases, the process medium can not be completely excluded from the pipeline. And flag installation is generally recommended.

When Coriolis mass Flowmeter is installed, the direction of installation is very important. The direction of installation is determined according to the position of the process pipeline arranged on the spot.

Reasonable installation can ensure the long-term stable work of Coriolis mass Flowmeter. Installation Requirements for Coriolis Mass Flowmeters.

Four Installation Methods of Coriolis Mass Flowmeters

Four Installation Methods of Coriolis Mass Flowmeters

I. Normal installation, medium/large Coriolis mass flowmeter

It is recommended to release and empty the gas that may be stored in the Coriolis mass Flowmeter pipeline of Shanghai Automation instrument Co., Ltd before installation.

 II. Inverted installation, medium/large Coriolis mass flowmeter

It is recommended to use an inverted installation to measure gas (e.g. steam). Because only in this way, the liquid that may be stored in the Coriolis mass Flowmeter can be released and emptied.

III. Flag type installation, medium/large Coriolis mass flowmeter

Flag installation is the installation of Coriolis mass Flowmeter perpendicular to horizontal line.

Flag type mounting is recommended to measure the suspension and liquid and solid biphasic liquids.

For example, for liquids that are easy to solidify under temperature change, for liquids with high viscosity, it is necessary to empty the liquid left in the measuring pipe after measurement.

Flag mounting will not affect the measurement accuracy of any type of liquid measured. but the direction of the measurement flow must be bottom-up.

IV. Miniature Pipe Size Coriolis Instrument Installation

Sino-Inst small size Coriolis mass Flowmeter has a very small flow range and high accuracy requirements. In this way, stable mounting plates and supports are necessary. The mounting plate and Coriolis mass Flowmeter must be completely flat without any space.

If not, use horizontal bolts to adjust the balance. The small size Coriolis mass flowmeter is installed as follows:
