Function and system design
Measuring principle The measuring principle is based on the controlled generation of Coriolis forces. These forces are
always present in a system when both translational and rotational movements are superimposed.
Fc = 2 · ∆m (ν · ω)
Fc = Coriolis force
∆m = moving mass
ω = rotational velocity
ν = radial velocity in rotating or oscillating system
The amplitude of the Coriolis force depends on the moving mass ∆m, its velocity ν in the system and
thus on the mass flow. Instead of a constant rotational velocity ω, the sensor uses oscillation.
In the sensor, two parallel measuring tubes containing flowing fluid oscillate in antiphase, acting like
a tuning fork. The Coriolis forces produced at the measuring tubes cause a phase shift in the tube
oscillations (see illustration):
• At zero flow (when the fluid is at a standstill) the two tubes oscillate in phase (1).
• Mass flow causes deceleration of the oscillation at the inlet of the tubes (2) and acceleration at the
outlet (3).
1 2 3
A0016771
The phase difference (A-B) increases with increasing mass flow. Electrodynamic sensors register the
tube oscillations at the inlet and outlet. System balance is ensured by the antiphase oscillation of the
two measuring tubes. The measuring principle operates independently of temperature, pressure,
viscosity, conductivity and flow profile.
Density measurement
The measuring tube is continuously excited at its resonance frequency. A change in the mass and
thus the density of the oscillating system (comprising measuring tube and fluid) results in a
corresponding, automatic adjustment in the oscillation frequency. Resonance frequency is thus a
function of medium density. The microprocessor utilizes this relationship to obtain a density signal.
Temperature measurement
The temperature of the measuring tube is determined in order to calculate the compensation factor
due to temperature effects. This signal corresponds to the process temperature and is also available
as an output signal.
Measuring system The device consists of a transmitter and a sensor.
The device is available as a compact version:
The transmitter and sensor form a mechanical unit.

Mounting location
A0023344
To prevent measuring errors arising from accumulation of gas bubbles in the measuring tube, avoid
the following mounting locations in the pipe:
• Highest point of a pipeline.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a down pipe.
Installation in down pipes
However, the following installation suggestion allows for installation in an open vertical pipeline.
Pipe restrictions or the use of an orifice with a smaller cross-section than the nominal diameter
prevent the sensor running empty while measurement is in progress.

Orientation The direction of the arrow on the sensor nameplate helps you to install the sensor according to the
flow direction (direction of medium flow through the piping).

1) Applications with low process temperatures may reduce the ambient temperature. To maintain the
minimum ambient temperature for the transmitter, this orientation is recommended.
2) Applications with high process temperatures may increase the ambient temperature. To maintain the
maximum ambient temperature for the transmitter, this orientation is recommended.
If a sensor is installed horizontally with a curved measuring tube, match the position of the sensor to
the fluid properties.

 7 Orientation of sensor with curved measuring tube
1 Avoid this orientation for fluids with entrained solids: Risk of solids accumulating.
2 Avoid this orientation for outgassing fluids: Risk of gas accumulating.
Valves
Never install the sensor downstream from a filling valve. If the sensor is completely empty this
corrupts the measured value.
Correct measurement is only possible if the pipe is completely full. Perform sample fillings
before commencing filling in production.

 9 Recommended orientation in the event of strong heat formation
To prevent the electronics from overheating in the event of strong heat formation (e.g. CIP or
SIP cleaning process), install the measuring device with the transmitter part pointing
downwards.
Inlet and outlet runs No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence, such as valves, elbows
or T-pieces, as long as no cavitation occurs .

instructions
Information for filling systems
Correct measurement is possible only if the piping is completely filled. We therefore recommend that
some test batches be carried out prior to production batching.
