Bayer Engineering and Technical Sales Company (BETSCO)


How does it work?

Drive coil causes tubes to vibrate at natural frequency.

Electronics provide
energy to drive coil,
accept signals from
pick-off coils, and
output values for mass,
volume, density, and
temperature.
Pick-off coils
generate sign waves MICRO
MOTION
used to indicate
position of tubes to
each other.

Bayer Engineering and Technical Sales Company (BETSCO)


Why use a Coriolis meter?
 Multi-Variable Measurement
 Mass, Density, and Volume
 Non-Intrusive - reduced maintenance
 No moving parts - no mechanical parts to wear
 Measures fluids laden with solids (ie sand)
 Not damaged by slugs of air
 Simple, Compact Installation
 No straight pipe runs required
 Accuracy
 High turndown ratio
 Reduced drift in accuracy due to wear
