An overview of Coriolis Mass Flowmeter as a Direct Mass Flow Measurement Device

Measurement of mass flow rate is an important aspect in various industrial & irrigation applications. In recent years, Coriolis mass flowmeters have emerged as the fastest growing fluid metering technology due to its ability of direct mass flow measurement with greater accuracy & reliability. This paper gives a brief overview about the important research efforts undertaken experimentally and theoretically in the development of Coriolis mass flow meter. The paper mainly focuses on the research efforts conducted on various aspects of the meter like tube geometries, vibration, dynamic response of the meter, effect of velocity profile on the performance of metre.
