12. Technologies used by competitors
Blocking Rotor
Oval Gear

13. Blocking Rotor - Disadvantages
13 moving parts
A new base meter is required to replace measuring element
Remove meter from line to rebuild
Complicated internal construction with timing gears
Special tools required
High pressures can cause product slippage

14. Oval Gear - Disadvantages
2 moving gears with two bearings each
Gears in contact with each other and subject to wear
Plastic gears wear faster, which lead to damage sooner
Tight tolerances between gears make meter very susceptible to foreign material, which can cause immediate lockup or gear damage

15. Metering Technologies Used in RSM Meters
Nutating Disc
Oscillating Piston
Coriolis Mass Flow

16. Nutating Disc Proven accurate and reliable for over a century
Unaffected by viscosity of flow profile disturbances
Tolerant of suspended solids that can stall other meter types
Withstands pressure up to 150 psi and temperature to 250° F
Works with mechanical or electronic register

17. Oscillating Piston 2 moving parts Positive displacement meter
Hydraulically floating piston does not contact the chamber surfaces during operation
Easily serviceable because its simple construction requires no special knowledge or tools
Tested under field conditions to optimize design
Dual case design

18. Oscillating Piston (continued)
Measuring element is replaceable and doesn’t require the meter to be removed from line
Components undergo strengthening treatment to increase durability
Tolerant of low viscosity, abrasive, non-lubricating compressed gas
Nituff coating reduces friction and protects from particulate damage

19. How an Oscillating Piston works
Capillary action maintains seal of liquid between piston and chamber wall
Groove in skirt bottom retains cushion of liquid to lift piston
Inlet pressure lifts piston, reducing drag
Profiles in the piston top break surface tension to reduce drag
Hydraulically floating piston does not contact the chamber surfaces during operation

20. Roller and diaphragm are the only wear parts
Measuring Chamber
All components – piston skirt and top, wall cover and floor – have pressure relief ports
Roller and diaphragm are the only wear parts
Relationship between piston spindle, roller and diaphragm prevents contact between skirt and chamber wall

21. Coriolis Mass Flow Meters
First introduced in 1978, they are an established technology in process industries.

22. Why Measure Mass? Volume varies with temperature
Mass is a primary measurement and remains the same

23. Coriolis Mass Flow Meter
Drive Coil
Tubes
Flow Divider
Measurement Coils
Mass Flowmeter Components

24. Mass Flow Operation
With no liquid flowing, the drive coil causes the tubes to vibrate parallel to each other (in phase).

25. Mass Flow Operation
Product flow causes the ends of the tubes to vibrate out of phase. The sensor coils measure this phase difference, allowing calculation of mass.

26. Measurements Available from Coriolis Meters
The following values may also be obtained from the meter or calculated from other values
Density
Fluid Temperature
Net Volume
Specific Gravity
Gross Volume (mass/density)

27. Accurate & Consistent Technology
+/- 10:1
% Error
The accuracy of a Coriolis meter is stated as percentage of the rate measurement plus or minus a zero stability.
The zero shift error becomes the dominant portion of the overall accuracy at the lower end of the flow range.
Alternatively, the accuracy may be stated as a percentage of rate for flow rates above some low flow threshold and as a percentage of flow range for flow rates below the threshold.
It is important to remember that the zero stability or zero shift error, is a constant error regardless of flowrate.
% Flow Rate
Holds accuracy to lower flow rates (for meter size) than other metering technologies - less unmetered product
