Coriolis Flow Fluid metering will be change in vibration frequency.

When measuring density, keeping

volume flow same, the change in frequency of vibration will be a measure of
Coriolis mass flowmeter
density (volume flow is the same and meter mass does not change).
 Also known as mass flow meter.
Equations
 a multivariable device by design
 It directly measures the mass of the flowing fluid, liquids and gases.  The mass flow (mass/time) of a u-shaped Coriolis flow meter is given
 It can also measure density of the fluid directly (for liquids and some as: 
gases only).
 it measures the amount or quantity or the mass of fluid flowing through
a closed pipe or tube, rather than other typical fluid metering that where: Ku = the temperature dependent stiffness of the tube 
measures volume. K = shape-dependent factor 
 it has a Resistance Temperature Detector which measures the
temperature. d = the width 

Coriolis Flow Principles τ = the time lag 

If a moving mass is subjected to an oscillation, perpendicular to the ω = the vibration frequency
motion, a coriolis force occurs, which depends on the mass flow. Because of Iu = the inertia of the tube
this force, sensors at the inlet and outlet are subjected to this force differently.
At the inlet, because of mass addition, it tries to oppose the vibration, while at *As the inertia of the tube depend on its contents, knowledge of the fluid
the outlet side, mass going out tries to add to the vibration. density is needed for the calculation of an accurate mass flow rate.
When no fluid is flowing, the vibration of the two tubes is symmetrical.  Gross Liquid Volume.
The two arms vibrate with the same frequency as the overall vibration, but
when there is mass flow the two vibrations shift to a sort of asynchronous -since the Coriolis flowmeter produces a direct measurement of mass flow
situation. The mass flow rate can be calculated by detecting the phase shift of rate and also measures the liquid density, the gross liquid volumetric flow rate
can also be computed.
the tubes because degree of phase shift is directly proportional to the mass
flow within the tubes. Whenever mass of a vibrating system changes, there Volume = Mass

-The natural vibration frequency of the flow tubes depends on the combined
mass of the tube and the fluid contained in it. By setting the tube in motion and
measuring the natural frequency, the mass of the fluid contained in the tube can Advantages and Disadvantages of Coriolis Flow Fluid Metering
be deduced. Dividing the mass on the known volume of the tube gives us Advantages:

petroleum industry. These applications include:
 High initial set up cost
1. Liquid separators, net oil  Clogging may occur and difficult to clean
2. Crude oil and condensate gathering  Larger in over-all size compared to other flowmeters
3. Lease automated custody transfer (LACT)  Limited line size availability
