  • Page 22: Measuring Principle And Flow Meter Design

    FC6x0 Measuring principle and flow meter design Measuring principle 6 Measuring principle and flow meter design 6.1 Measuring principle The measuring principle is based on the generation of Coriolis forces. For this purpose, a driver system (E) excites the two measuring tubes (M1, M2) in their first resonance frequency.
  • Page 23 FC6x0 Measuring principle and flow meter design Measuring principle The small deformation overlying the fundamental vibration is recorded by means of pick- offs (S1, S2) attached at suitable measuring tube locations. The resulting phase shift Δ φ between the output signals of pick-offs S1 and S2 is proportional to the mass flow. The output signals generated are further processed in a transmitter.

  • Page 24: Flow Meter

    FC6x0 Measuring principle and flow meter design Flow meter Temperature The measuring tube temperature is measured in order to compensate the effects of measurement temperature on the flow meter. This temperature approximately equals the fluid temperature and is made available as a measured quantity at the transmitter as well. 6.2 Flow meter The SITRANS FC Coriolis flow meter consists of: ▪...
