Trang 7So what is the Coriolis effect?
z Discovered by Gaspar Gustav de Coriolis in 1835
z The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of a moving object in a rotating frame of
reference, sometimes attributed to a fictitious force “Coriolis force”
z Used to show effect of earth’s rotation on weather patterns
Coriolis principle
Trang 8Theory of Operation : Mass flow measurement
Consider a mass in a rotating system, moving towards (or away from the centre
of rotation The rotational velocity of the mass is changed, due an acceleration.
To accelerate an object, a force must be applied This is the Coriolis force.
Fc acts on the particle, m, with a resultant reaction Fr
Fr acts in the opposite direction
on the tube wall and can be measured as

Construction
VersaFlow Coriolis 1000
Trang 38Temperature changes cause the measuring tube to expand and
contract, this changes the tension, and also affects the tube stiffness
in the Single Straight Tube
• Strain Gauges are attached to both the Connecting Tube, and Inner Cylinder (Patented)
• Changes in tension are immediately sensed and compensated
• Every flowmeter is characterized at three different temperatures during calibration for use
in the algorithm that compensates for the expansion and contraction that occurs with
temperature changes

Trang 43The stiffness (Modulus of Elasticity) of the metal measuring
tube changes with temperature
• All sensors use a 500 Ohm platinum RTD sensor mounted onto the
outside of the measuring tube, at the inlet end of the meter
• The temperature of the measuring tube is used to determine the
modulus of elasticity (stiffness)
• This measurement is also available as an output for process

• Solute flow / total
VersaFlow Coriolis Flow Meter
Trang 61General Guidelines
• Install vertical flow up
• Uniform and fast filling / emptying
• Less than 2% to 5% by volume
• Cavitations from pumps or valves
• High viscosity liquids
– Sucking air at joints
– Dropping fills in tanks
– Drawing tanks too low
• Install meter in highest pressure point
• Increase pressure by throttling downstream
Trang 62VersaFlow Coriolis Flow
VersaFlow Coriolis Flow Meter
Special Considerations
• Slurry applications
• Avoid high velocities with abrasive slurries
• Use transition pieces to protect meter
• Provide straight run upstream of meter
• Install meter with vertical flow up to avoid settling out inside meter
• Higher pressures to increase density
• Provide operating conditions for sizing
• Will be limited on low density / low pressure
applications
• Perform onsite calibration for best performance
• % Concentration measurement dependent on customer supplied data, or standard data (i.e

Applications - CT
Trang 65Meters: 4 x VersaFlow100 S25
Medium: Fuel oil
Application:
One meter is measuring the supply,
one meter the return The difference
gives the fuel consumption.

Note:
The meters have been installed in such a way that they will always be full This is good
engineering practice for this type of application.
Installation 1: Suspended by two metal rods
and two metal belts in a horizontal position
from the top of the filling station.
Trang 68Selection & Sizing
z Consider accuracy required vs pressure drop
z Best Accuracy achieved at flow rates > 20% of nominal flow rates
z Measurement possible at lower flow rates for high viscosity products with a higher pressure
drop
z Rule of thumb: Meter required is one size smaller than piping
z For density & concentration measurements, use 7000-Titanium
z Sizes 15 & above for best performance
VersaFlow Coriolis Flow Meter
Trang 69Selection & Sizing – Viscosity effects
z For Newtonian fluids, using a static or dynamic viscosity value gives a good indication
of pressure drop
z For Non-Newtonian fluids:
z Shear-thinning, Shear thickening, Plastic, Thixotropic, Anti-thixotropic
z Ketchups, Margarine, Salad dressings, some paint & oils
z A static viscosity may not give a realistic calculation for the pressure drop & can lead to
an over-size meter being used
z Use the existing line size as an benchmark
z Temperature considerations: Remember that for some fluids, both static and dynamic
viscosities are temperature dependant, so ensure this variable is considered
Trang 70Selection & Sizing – Velocity
z Fluid velocity can be important in meter selection
z In principle, the meters can work with a very high velocity
z Some food products are sensitive to churning and are kept to max 6 ft/s
Milk, Yoghurts, Mayonnaises etc
z Hydrocarbon liquids can cause static discharges above 24 ft/s
z Abrasion can occur at velocities 12 ft/s
z Air bubbles & mixtures effects reduced if velocity is higher to maintain mixing
VersaFlow Coriolis Flow Meter
Trang 71Selection & Sizing – Materials
z Typically Coriolis mass flowmeters use tubing with a smaller wall thickness than
standard process piping
z Also areas of high stress where corrosion can occur
z Bends & welds
z Consider effects of temperature, concentration & impurities
z SS316L, SS318L, HC22 are NACE approved
z FDA has no objections to use of Titanium
z Beware of “leeching”: Use SS if a concern
z Do not use standard corrosion tables! Consult Krohne!
