Temperature
measurement
The measuring tube temperature is measured in order to compensate for the effects of
temperature on the flow meter. This temperature approximately equals the fluid tempera-
ture and is made available as a measured quantity at the transmitter as well.
4.2.2 Flow meter
The Rotamass Total Insight Coriolis mass flow and density meter is offered in several
families (Nano, Supreme, Giga, Prime, Intense and Hygienic). It consists of the following
main components:
▪ Sensor
▪ Transmitter
In the integral type, sensor and transmitter are firmly connected.
