6.1 Measuring principle (single tube)
A Coriolis single tube mass flowmeter consists of a single measuring tube
1
a drive coil
2
and
two sensors (
3
and
4
) that are positioned either side of the drive coil.
When the meter is energised, the drive coil vibrates the measuring tube causing it to oscillate
and produce a sine wave
3
. The sine wave is monitored by the two sensors.
Static meter not energised and with no flow
