Coriolis Mass Flow Meters for Water Flow Measurement

Water flow measurement is conducted using countless methods around the world. Municipal water supplies. Waste management facilities. Industrial cooling systems. There is an extensive range of challenging application areas where water flow measurement must be conducted accurately and repeatedly.

Numerous device types are suitable for water flow measurement, including basic variable area, turbine, paddle wheel, and flanged flow meters. Among the most universal water flow measurement tools worldwide, however, are Coriolis mass flow meters. In this blog post, AW-Lake highlights our innovative range of Coriolis mass flow meters for water flow measurement in more detail.

What are Coriolis Mass Flow Meters?

Water flow measurement is commonly conducted according to the Coriolis mass flow principle. This calculates the linear mass flow of water as a function of the twisting forces generated as it flows through an oscillating tube.

To exploit this principle, Coriolis mass flow meters utilize a D- or U-shaped tube that is energized by constant vibration. As the water flows through this section, high velocities are induced which alter the frequency vibration. This causes the tube to twist. Integrated sensors measure the phase shifting of the pipe as a linear output that is proportional to mass flow. Head-mount indicators display the water flow measurement in real-time, enabling tight control of processing parameters for industrial coolant systems.

Water Flow Measurement with AW-Lake

AW-Lake specializes in flow measurement solutions for industrial areas of application. We offer three proprietary products from TRICOR Coriolis Technology for enhanced water flow measurement of industrial coolants.
