Abstract:
The single straight-tube Coriolis mass flowmeter is modelled using the theory of vibrating beams, taking into account the effects of the added masses of the electromagnetic drive and detectors. Many experiments are conducted to assess the performance of an experimental flowmeter. Additionally, the influences of fluid temperature and external vibrations on the sensitivity of the flowmeter are identified.
