Coriolis flowmeter
A flowmeter that measures mass flow from the motion of vibrating tubes.
IN ONE SENTENCE
Flow changes the way the tubes twist, and electronics convert that effect into mass flow.
In normal English
Coriolis meters can provide excellent accuracy and often density and temperature too, but are relatively sophisticated and costly.
Why would I use it?
Use it when accurate mass flow or density information justifies the cost.
THINK OF IT LIKE…
Feeling how flowing mass changes the motion of a vibrating tube.
