The use of flow dividers with optimised flow properties combined with the application of
measuring tubes with a large tube cross-section ensures minimum loss of pressure. The
danger of cavitation in the specified measuring range is eliminated.
The use of thick-walled measuring tubes with a large cross-section exercises a further positive
effect. Due to the increase in the vibrating mass, the measuring system is less sensitive to
gas bubbles in the measured medium.
1.2.3 MFS 3000 Transducer (E-Series)
The CORIMASS MFS 3000 series is comprised of precision transducers for the measurement
of small fluid and gas mass flow rates with the range of 0.006 kg./min. to 33.3 kg./min. (0.013
lb./min. to 73.16 lb./min.).
In contrast to the CORIMASS P-series of instruments, the CORIMASS E-series is designed as
a single-tube system with the inherent advantages of a single flow path (see Fig. 4).

Due to its low-frequency tuned reference platform, the MFS 3000 is largely insensitive to
interference. The unit is characterised by a rugged transducer loop, which permits optional
measurements up to operating pressure levels of as much as 300 bar (4352 psig) depending
on model.
A further advantage of the E-series is its ease of maintenance and servicing.
