Response to Flow Change

Response Time is the Time between a Physical Change & a Corresponding Change in an Output Signal

Coriolis meters exhibit a two-part response curve for changes in measured flow

– a fixed processing delay - Latency

• a function of the system architecture

– second part of the response curve approximates an RC delay - Damping

• Typically adjustable by the user

• Rise Time

• Settling Time

Filler OEM: Results with Micro Motion Coriolis

Higher Efficiency and Reliability – 10,000 cases per shift vs. 8,000 with older, less reliable filling technology

Greater Accuracy = Less Giveaway: Product savings alone can pay for a machine in 2 to 5 years.

Faster changeover/cleaning = More flexibility and shorter runs. Less inventory and greater uptime!

Additional measurables provide new features such as density & temperature tracking for quality control.

Volumetric Flow Meter References

– Useful when Flow Can’t be Interupted

Large Volume – “Ball” Provers

– Long Run Times

• Measurement Phase Difference Generally not Problematic

Small Volume – “Piston” Provers

– Short Run Times

• Measurement Phase Difference may Cause Significant Error

• Well Documented by others.
