Hi I, hello everyone. Today, we bring you [Installation of Coriolis mass flow meter sensors], in the hope that it will be helpful to everyone. Installation of Sensors (I) Basic Requirements for Sensor Installation 1. When installing an MFU mass flow meter sensor, the sensor’s flow direction indicator should be aligned with the flow direction of the fluid. 2. The Coriolis mass flow meter is a flow measurement instrument that operates on the principle of vibration in the measuring tube; therefore, when installing the sensor, it is necessary to ensure that the relevant pipelines are properly supported to prevent vibrations in the instrument and those pipelines. 3. If severe pipeline vibration is unavoidable, it is recommended to use flexible pipes to isolate the pipeline system from the instrument sensors. 4. During installation, the flange surfaces should be parallel to each other, with the centers of the two flanges lying on the same axis, in order to avoid the generation of additional stress. 5. When measuring liquid flow rate, the fluid flow should preferably be from bottom to top; at the same time, the instrument should not be installed at the highest point of the pipeline, to prevent gas accumulation in the pipeline from affecting the proper operation of the instrument. (II) Sensor installation: To ensure the reliability of measurements, several factors need to be considered when installing the instrument: 1. When a mass flow meter is used to measure liquids, the housing should be installed in an upright position. As shown in Figure 2.1, this prevents gas from accumulating in the sensor oscillation tube. 2. When a mass flow meter is used to measure gases, the housing should be installed vertically, as shown in Figure 2.2, to prevent liquids from accumulating inside the sensor’s vibrating tube. 3. When the medium being measured is a suspension, the sensor should be installed in a vertical position. As shown in Figure 2.3. The flow direction of the medium is from bottom to top through the sensor.
