Coriolis Mass Flowmeter for LNG Storage and Transport
Product Description
Coriolis force, is a description of the deflection of the linear motion of a particle in a rotating system due to inertia relative to the linear motion of the rotating system.
In a rotating system, a particle that moves in a straight line has a tendency to continue moving along the original direction of motion due to inertia. However, since the system itself rotates, after a period of movement, the position of the particle in the system will change. Changes, and its original movement direction and position will change. The force that causes the change in its movement direction is the Coriolis force.
Coriolis mass flow meter is a direct mass flow meter that uses the principle of Coriolis force that is proportional to the mass flow rate of the fluid when the fluid is in another rotating system while moving linearly. This Coriolis force will cause the vibrating measuring tube to twist, as shown below:
The Coriolis mass flowmeter has a signal detector at the inlet and outlet ends of the measuring tube. The motion state of the inlet and outlet ends of the vibrating tube twisted by the Coriolis force is out of sync, and a time difference will be detected by the detector, as follows Figure, this time difference is proportional to the mass flow rate.

1. Imported combined splitter cone (obtained utility model patent - patent number: 201020170649.5)
The inlet end and the outlet end are structurally symmetrical and are connected by a pipe body. The inlet end and the outlet end are composed of an interface joint, a shunt cone, two measuring tubes and a measuring tube joint, wherein the interface joint and the measuring tube joint form a The two are docked and positioned with a shunt cone. The measuring tube is inserted into the measuring pipe joint and then welded. The shunt cone is inserted into the measuring tube and the measuring pipe joint. The measuring tube and the shunt cone maintain a tight positioning fit.
The measuring tube and the measuring tube joint are welded by argon arc welding; the diverter cone is inserted into the inner hole of the measuring tube joint in the axial and radial directions, and the diverter cone is positioned in conjunction with the measuring tube in the circumferential direction.
The interface joint is placed on the diverter cone, so that the outer cone surface of the diverter cone and the inner cone surface of the interface joint are positioned axially, and the inner hole of the interface joint is positioned radially. The interface joint and the diverter cone are also integrally pressed. Tight and welded with argon arc welding.
