Mass FlowmeterPage 2

The m Cor�ol�s Force Flow Meter measures mass flow d�rectly us�ng the Cor�ol�s Pr�nc�ple. In pract�ce, th�s

means that l�qu�d flow �s measured by transferr�ng v�brat�onal energy from the meter tub�ng to the flow�ng

l�qu�d and back aga�n to the meter. To apprec�ate th�s, �mag�ne a v�brat�ng p�pe as shown �n F�gure 1.1. If no

l�qu�d �s flow�ng, the dr�ve co�l �n the m�ddle of the p�pe w�ll cause both arms to v�brate �n phase.

Now look at F�gure 1.2 and cons�der what w�ll happen when l�qu�d beg�ns to flow. Mass flow�ng �nto the

flowmeter starts to rece�ve v�brat�onal energy as �t enters the first bend. It rece�ves th�s v�brat�onal energy from

the p�pe walls. Of course, �n do�ng th�s, the p�pe loses that same amount of energy. The result �s the phase of

the v�brat�onal cycle lags at the upstream sensor locat�on.

The reverse w�ll happen at the downstream sensor locat�on. The l�qu�d �s v�brat�ng as �t enters the bend,

but transfers th�s energy to the p�pe. The result �s that the mass flow advances the v�brat�onal phase at the

downstream sensor locat�on.

When comb�ned, these two changes �n v�brat�onal phase produce a “tw�st�ng” of the flow tubes as shown �n

F�gure 1.3. The ampl�tude of th�s tw�st �s d�rectly proport�onal to the mass flow rate and �s v�rtually �ndependent

of the temperature, dens�ty, or v�scos�ty of the l�qu�d �nvolved.

The dr�ve co�l v�brates the Cor�ol�s Force Flow Meter at �ts natural frequency. The frequency of v�brat�on of

the flow tubes var�es w�th flu�d dens�ty. Th�s frequency �s measured to determ�ne the flu�d dens�ty and/or the

percent sol�ds/concentrat�on.

Density: p=K1 (1/f)2 - K

An RTD is used to measure temperature.

Process variables that are calculated:

Gross Volume = Mass / Density

Percent Solids / Concentration

Figure 1.1: Principles of Operation





The pr�nc�ple of operat�on of a CFF prov�des a better understand�ng of how th�s type of flow meter uses the

comb�nat�on of Cor�ol�s Force, Frequency of V�brat�on and Temperature to prov�de d�rect measurement of

mass, dens�ty and temperature respect�vely. Proper �nstallat�on of a CFF ensures the three (3) measurement

character�st�cs are not affected. The follow�ng outl�nes the p�p�ng and structural mount�ng for a CFF.

2.1 Piping and Structural Mounting

2.1.1 Pipe Supports

Below �s a d�agram of our recommended p�p�ng supports for a CFF.

F�gure 2.1.1: Transducer Mount�ng Requ�rements

cAuTIon: • Place pipe supports as close to the process connection as possible

• Make sure pipe supports are securely clamped or attached to the process line

• If multiple meters are installed in series or in parallel, piping to each meter must

have separate supports. coriolis Force flowmeters should not share the same pipe

supports

• do not install a cFF in the highest part of the system. The lowest part of the

system is preferred.

• do not use wood or any inferior material as a pipe support

• do not support the meter or its flanges with piping supports

• do not align piping using the meter. Make sure the pipe flanges are aligned with

the meter flanges

• Avoid having two meters mounted to the same superstructure to eliminate the

potential of cross talk

• Make sure the meter is grounded per local agency requirements (See Wiring

Section 2.3.2)

• Some installations require isolation supports that will prevent transfer of

excessive vibration in to the sensor. In such situations, install isolation supports

such as those manufactured by Stauff, Tel: (201) 444-7800, or Behringer, Tel: (201)

2.1.2 Straight run requirements

The Actar�s Cor�ol�s Mass Flow meter has no stra�ght run p�pe d�ameter requ�rements

for a g�ven �nstallat�on. Actar�s bel�eves that good p�p�ng pract�ces should be used �n the

des�gn�ng of any flow meter�ng system.

2.1.3 Wall Mounting

A CFF may be mounted or secured to a wall prov�d�ng that the p�p�ng �s r�g�dly secured to

the wall (not the meter), The wall w�ll be uny�eld�ng to any reasonable force and to any

v�brat�on. No other v�brat�on �nduc�ng dev�ce(s) �s to be near or on the wall.

NOTE:ThisconfigurationisNOTrecommendedfortruckinstallations.

2.1.4 common Floor

One of the three measured var�ables �n a CFF �s the frequency of v�brat�on. Errors

or dev�at�ons �n th�s measured var�able can result �n poor meter performance that �s

corrected only w�th cons�derable changes to the flow meter�ng system. Be sure to take the

necessary steps to prevent th�s occurrence. One of the best methods to guarantee th�s

�s by prov�d�ng a sol�d common support structure for the p�pe supports. P�pe supports on

each s�de of the CFF act as v�brat�on �solators or a mechan�cal filter to remove unwanted

outs�de v�brat�on frequenc�es from reach�ng the meter.

NOTE:Thiscommonfloormustbefreeofanytypeofvibration(e.g.I-beam,cement

pad)

If a common floor does not ex�st, the des�gned v�brat�on �solators and mechan�cal filters

served by the common floor w�ll be comprom�sed. Th�s w�ll result �n an �neffect�ve filter

and an uneven torqu�ng of the meter caus�ng poor meter performance. Meter damage

�s also a poss�b�l�ty �f the l�m�t of mechan�cal torque on the meter �s exceeded �n the

�nstallat�on.

NOTE:SoilordirtsurfaceisnotacommonfloorIFenvironmentalconditionscan

affectthesupports.Thisalsoappliesifthestructureisoverhead.

On a truck system, apply the p�pe supports to a r�g�d structure. For �nstallat�ons w�th

excess�ve v�brat�on use �solat�on supports.



2.1.5 ceiling

Th�s �s an �nstallat�on where the p�pe supports are mounted to the ce�l�ng or overhead

structure above the CFF. If th�s �s the case, ensure the overhead structure �s r�g�d (not

wood), and the structure �s common to both p�pe supports.

2.1.6 Floor Grating

ThIS TYPE oF InSTALLATIon IS noT rEcoMMEndEd. At t�mes, floor grat�ng may

be a common floor. However, �t �s not free from the effects of v�brat�on made by floor

movement from people or any v�brat�on �nduc�ng dev�ce(s).

2.1.7 Valves (Zeroing, check, Back Pressure, differential, Air & Flow)

A downstream valve �s requ�red to zero the flow meter and to ensure the meter rema�ns

full. It can be mounted d�rectly to the meter.

A check valve upstream prevents the dra�nage of the flow meter �n the reverse d�rect�on.

On a truck mounted system, always zero the CFF under the actual cond�t�ons of a normal

del�very (�.e.: eng�ne runn�ng, PTO engaged) w�th the downstream valve or nozzle closed.

CAUTION:NeveroperateatruckmountedCFFwithadifferentpump(s)thanwhat

wasusedduringtheoriginalzeroingprocedure.

A back pressure valve must be used �n conjunct�on w�th an a�r el�m�nator on a pumping

installation (except gravity feed). Th�s ensures that the flow meter w�ll be kept full of

product and prov�des the back pressure for good a�r el�m�nat�on.

D�fferent�al control valve operat�on �s s�m�lar to an a�r control valve’s operat�on. However,

d�fferent�al control valves are ma�nly used w�th l�quefied products. For example, LPG, NH3,

and products that have a h�gh vapor pressure, subject to flash�ng under normal operat�ng

cond�t�ons.

A�r control valves are pr�mar�ly used �n truck systems when mult�-compartment del�ver�es

are be�ng made. The control valve prov�des a constant pressure for the flu�d to overcome.

Th�s ensures that slugs of a�r do not pass through the meter. Refined fuel and lube o�l

truck appl�cat�ons �nclude a�r control valves as standard equ�pment �n the flow meter�ng

system.

Flow Control Valves are ut�l�zed �n load�ng rack and custody transfer appl�cat�ons to

ma�nta�n a constant flow rate through a blend�ng or a preset del�very operat�on. In

appl�cat�ons where the flow control valve �s �n a control loop, ensure that the control loop

�s properly tuned to m�n�m�ze or remove any cycl�ng of the flow rate around the des�red

flow rate setpo�nt. Large cont�nuous changes �n flow rate around the setpo�nt could

adversely affect the performance of a CFF.

2.1.8 Air Elimination

An a�r el�m�nator or an effect�ve means of a�r el�m�nat�on �s requ�red �n a meter�ng system

whenever the poss�b�l�ty of a�r entra�nment ex�sts. Th�s �s essent�al for the accurate

measurement of product. A�r or vapor can enter a system from tanks be�ng pumped

dry; leak�ng valves and fitt�ngs; and/or long exposed l�nes subjected to vapor�zat�on.

Th�s type of pump and p�p�ng arrangement �s extremely �mportant �n a meter�ng system.

Pos�t�ve d�splacement and self-pr�m�ng centr�fugal pumps w�ll pump more a�r, mak�ng a�r

el�m�nat�on more d�fficult. P�p�ng that p�tches downward to feed a pump or has excess�ve

bends and pockets compl�cates a�r el�m�nat�on. Systems that use bl�nd r�sers contr�bute

to meter �nd�cat�on error due to alternate compress�on and expans�on of a�r. on a

pumping installation (except gravity feed), a back pressure valve must be used in

conjunction with an air eliminator. Th�s ensures that the flow meter w�ll be kept full of

product and prov�des the back pressure requ�red for good a�r el�m�nat�on.

Note:ACFFshouldbeinstalledinthelowestpartofthesystem.Thisbestensures

thattheCFFremainsfull,freeofairentrainment.

2.1.9 Vacuum Breaker

Vacuum (vapor) break �s �nstalled at the h�ghest po�nt of the load�ng arm or towards the

end of a fill�ng hose or p�pe. It serves to ensure that a�r does not s�phon back �nto the

system. At no flow cond�t�ons, the vacuum breaker ensures that the system �s charged

w�th product between �tself and the valve downstream of the meter.

2.1.10 Pumps

Large capac�ty pumps, �n part�cular pos�t�ve d�splacement pumps w�ll typ�cally �nduce

v�brat�on �nto any meter�ng system.

Whenever poss�ble, these types of pumps should be �solated from the CFF and should

not share the same floor structure.

In sk�d systems, �solate large capac�ty pumps on a separate sk�d to reduce excess�ve

v�brat�on be�ng transm�tted to the CFF through the floor structure.

In appl�cat�ons where mult�ple (or man�folded) pumps are used, offset the speed of each

pump by a m�n�mum of 100 rpm. Th�s w�ll help to m�n�m�ze the harmon�zat�on of the

pumps, thereby decreas�ng the hydraul�c no�se �nduced �n the process flu�d, and reduc�ng

the poss�b�l�ty of damage to system components.

cAuTIon: never operate a truck mounted cFF with a different pump than what was

used during the original zeroing procedure.

On a truck mounted system, do not use d�fferent pumps to off-load mult�ple products

through the same CFF.


Mass FlowmeterPage �

2.2 Transducer orientation

2.2.1 horizontal (normal Position)

The normal pos�t�on of a CFF �s �n the hor�zontal configurat�on. The normal pos�t�on

ensures three (3) measurement character�st�cs of a CFF are not affected. Hor�zontal

configurat�on better ensures that the meter w�ll rema�n full and there �s a low percentage

of potent�al a�r entra�nment.

There are some concerns to hor�zontal configurat�on of a CFF. For �nstance, under no flow

cond�t�ons, sol�ds or prec�p�tates have a tendency to settle unevenly between the lowest

areas of the flow tubes. The settl�ng of the sol�ds or prec�p�tates may create the follow�ng

s�tuat�ons:

• an unstable system zero

• an �ncrease �n dens�ty

• “tubes not v�brat�ng” or “sensor error” warn�ngs on the electron�cs d�splay

2.2.2 Vertical

A CFF may be mounted �n the vert�cal pos�t�on. However, the flow through the meter

should be �n the upward d�rect�on �n order to ensure that the meter rema�ns full at all flow

rates.

Mount�ng a CFF �n the vert�cal pos�t�ons does have �ts l�m�tat�ons. For �nstance,

appl�cat�ons �nvolv�ng sol�ds or prec�p�tates have a tendency to settle unevenly between

the lowest areas of the flow tubes under no flow cond�t�ons. The settl�ng of the sol�ds or

prec�p�tates may create the follow�ng s�tuat�ons:

• an unstable system zero

• an �ncrease �n dens�ty

• “tubes not v�brat�ng” or “sensor error” warn�ngs on the electron�cs d�splay

2.2.3 Inverted

The second most popular method of �nstall�ng a CFF �s �n the �nverted pos�t�on. The

�nverted pos�t�on should be cons�dered �n the follow�ng appl�cat�ons:

• Food & Beverage and Pharmaceut�cal Industr�es requ�re flowmeters to be cleaned �n

place (CIP) or steamed �n place (SIP).

• In Sol�ds Content appl�cat�ons as sol�ds or prec�p�tates have a tendency to fall out of

solut�on under no flow cond�t�ons.

• On truck systems, an Actar�s CFF �n the �nverted pos�t�on prov�des for a compact

�nstallat�on �ns�de the truck outer compartment.

L�sted below are some l�m�tat�ons of the �nverted pos�t�on:

• H�gher percentage of a�r entra�nment may requ�re effect�ve a�r el�m�nat�on (See

sect�on on Spec�al Cons�derat�ons - A�r)

• Inverted pos�t�on of the meter requ�res an add�t�onal valve upstream of the meter

�n order to prevent dra�nage of the meter �n the reverse d�rect�on under no flow

cond�t�ons.

2.2.4 Side

Note: Thistypeofinstallationisnotrecommended;however,ifyourinstallation

On a s�de mounted pos�t�on, the product flow w�ll have a natural tendency to settle �n the

lowest flowtube. The l�kely result �s an �mbalance and a “tubes not v�brat�ng” or “sensor

error” warn�ng on the d�splay of the electron�cs.

A cont�nuous appl�cat�on may be su�table for th�s type of mount�ng configurat�on.

2.4 Troubleshooting

2.4.1 Transducer resistances nominal Value note: In older m300 model transducers cable connect�ons are made d�rectly to a PCB term�nal board conta�ned w�th�n a condu�t connect�on box located on the s�de of the transducer body. More recent models use the standard screw tape connect�on method.

F�gure 2.4.1 l�sts term�nal des�gnat�ons for Actar�s transducers us�ng the screw type cable connector.

F�gure 2.4.2 d�splays the m300 connector board term�nals. Th�s should be used �f the m300 has the condu�t box style connector. To check �ntegr�ty of w�r�ng c�rcu�ts, perform the follow�ng:1. D�sconnect the transm�tters power supply. 2. D�sconnect the transducer w�r�ng from the transm�tter’s

�ntr�ns�cally safe term�nal block �n the transducer w�r�ng area. F�gure 2.4.2 ] 3. Use a d�g�tal mult�meter (DMM) to measure res�stance between

w�re pa�rs, as �nd�cated �n Table 2.4.1.1. 4. Use Table 2.4.1.2. to ver�fy correct w�r�ng at the NexGen transm�tter term�nals.�. If the transm�tter �s remotely mounted from the transducer, repeat the measurements at

the transducer cable connector on the transducer to d�st�ngu�sh cable fa�lure. If the m300 has the condu�t box type connect�on, �t may be tested at the proper term�nals on the term�nal PCB.

3.1 continuous

A cont�nuous process operates on a constant bas�s for extended per�ods of t�me (usually

� hours or more). A typ�cal example of a cont�nuous appl�cat�on �s shown below.

The key requ�rements for a cont�nuous appl�cat�on are as follows:

1. A�r el�m�nator or an effect�ve means of a�r el�m�nat�on. An a�r el�m�nator removes all presence of

a�r or vapor that �s present pr�or to the meter.

2. A back pressure valve must be used �n conjunct�on w�th an a�r el�m�nator on a pumping

installation (except gravity feed). Th�s ensures the flow meter �s kept full of product and

prov�des the back pressure requ�red for good a�r el�m�nat�on.

3. A downstream valve �s requ�red to zero the flow meter and to ensure the meter rema�ns full at

all t�mes.

3.2. Batching

A batch�ng system �s best descr�bed as an appl�cat�on where the CFF �s used to del�ver a

preset quant�ty of flu�d for the fill�ng of conta�ners, vessels, vats, tanks, or trucks.

Key elements of a batch�ng system are as follows:

1. An a�r el�m�nator or an effect�ve means of a�r el�m�nat�on. An a�r el�m�nator removes all

presence of a�r or vapor that �s present upstream of the meter.

2. A back pressure valve must be used �n conjunct�on w�th an a�r el�m�nator on a

pumping installation (except gravity feed). Th�s ensures the flow meter �s kept full

of product and prov�des the back pressure requ�red for good a�r el�m�nat�on.

3. A check valve upstream to prevent the dra�nage of the flow meter �n the reverse

d�rect�on.

4. A 3A approved mass flow meter (self dra�n�ng) �n �ts normal pos�t�on the flowtubes

are �nverted for self-dra�n�ng.

�. A downstream valve �s requ�red to zero the flow meter and to ensure the meter

rema�ns full.

6. D�fferent�al control valve (LPG, NH3 or other products w�th h�gh vapor pressures).

�. A vacuum (vapor) break �s �nstalled at the h�ghest po�nt of a load�ng arm or towards

the end of the fill�ng hose or p�pe. It serves to ensure that a�r does not s�phon back

�nto the system, and at no flow cond�t�ons that the system �s charged w�th product

between the vacuum (vapor) break and the valve downstream of the meter.

In a batch�ng appl�cat�on, a good system �s des�gned to keep the meter full at all t�mes.

For empty to empty batch�ng (�.e., where the meter �s blown dry w�th a�r, n�trogen or

steam), �t may be benefic�al to �nstall the meter �n the �nverted pos�t�on. Th�s pos�t�on

allows the meter to empty after the batch has been completed. Otherw�se, the res�dual

product left over �n the meter w�ll result �n an unbalanced meter and a “tubes not

v�brat�ng” or “sensor error” �nd�cat�on may result.

NOTE: Inacustodytransferapplication,theflowmetermustremainfullandthe

systemcompletelychargedwithproductbetweenthedownstreamvalve

andthevacuum(vapor)breakafterthemeter.



3.3. Gravity Feed

A grav�ty feed system �s des�gned to flow product through the system by the force of

grav�ty usually from above ground storage tanks. Some hybr�d var�at�ons of grav�ty feed

systems �ncorporate small pumps �nto the system to ass�st �n �ncreas�ng the pressure and

flow rate of the l�qu�d.

Key requ�rements for a grav�ty feed system are as follows:

1. An a�r el�m�nator or an effect�ve means of a�r el�m�nat�on to remove all presence of a�r

or vapor that �s present pr�or to the meter.

2. A downstream valve �s requ�red to zero the flow meter and to ensure the meter

rema�ns full.

3. A vacuum (vapor) break �s �nstalled at the h�ghest po�nt of a load�ng arm or towards




In a grav�ty feed system, a�r el�m�nat�on �s espec�ally �mportant �f the tank level at any t�me

�s lower than the system outlet. If th�s occurs, slugs of a�r w�ll be present. If the tank level

�s h�gher than the system outlet, the tank w�ll try to dra�n product towards the outlet of the

system. A check valve upstream of the flow meter �s requ�red to prevent dra�n�ng of the

product towards the outlet of the system.

3.4 Loading rack

A load�ng rack system �s usually located at a company d�str�but�on fac�l�ty. It �s compr�sed

of an �sland of flowmeters that are used for the bulk fill�ng (ON-LOADING), or bulk

unload�ng (OFF-LOADING) of trucks, and/or ra�lcars. A load�ng rack fac�l�ty may house

underground or above ground storage tanks that are filled e�ther by a p�pel�ne, or the

OFF-LOADING of trucks and/or ra�lcars that come �nto the fac�l�ty.

Key elements of a load�ng rack system are as follows:



2. A back pressure valve must be used �n conjunct�on w�th an a�r el�m�nator on a

pumping installation (except gravity feed). Th�s ensures the flow meter �s kept full

of product and prov�des the back pressure requ�red for good a�r el�m�nat�on.

3. A downstream valve �s requ�red to zero the flow meter and to ensure the meter

rema�ns full.

4. D�fferent�al control valve (LPG, NH3 or other products w�th h�gh vapor pressures)

3.5 custody Transfer

A custody transfer system �s best descr�bed as be�ng the same as any of the prev�ous

systems l�sted w�th the d�fference that the reg�strat�on of the CFF electron�cs d�splay un�t

w�ll be cert�fied by the local author�t�es for sale of the measured product to the general

publ�c or �ndustry.

If your appl�cat�on requ�res custody transfer approval, all equ�pment l�sted �n the prev�ous

systems are requ�red �n order to comply w�th custody transfer rules and regulat�ons. It

guarantees the best performance of the CFF �n your system.

4.1. heat Tracing/Insulating

The funct�on of an �nsulat�ng jacket �s to �nsulate the meter �n order to prevent the loss of

heat from the measured product.

NOTE: Ifthepipingaroundtheflowmeterisinsulated,theflowmetershouldbe

insulated.

Some appl�cat�ons operate at h�gh temperatures �n order to get the product to flow (e.g.,

asphalt, coal tar p�tch, molasses, and syrup). These appl�cat�ons are eas�ly �dent�fied

because a small change in temperature results in a large change in viscosity.

In add�t�on to an �nsulat�ng jacket, these appl�cat�ons requ�re heat trac�ng �n order to

ma�nta�n the product temperature of the process. The comb�nat�on of an �nsulat�ng jacket

and heat trac�ng keeps the v�scos�ty constant. Th�s prevents aga�nst the saturat�ng of the

energy requ�red to v�brate the flow tubes of the CFF.

NOTE: Iftheproductbeingmeasuredexperiencesalargechangeinviscosity

resultingfromasmallchangeintemperature,theCFFistobeinsulated

andheattracedtotheMAXIMUMOPERATINGTEMPERATUREofthe

The follow�ng �nformat�on �s needed when select�ng the correct �nsulat�ng jacket:

1. Meter s�ze

2. Temperature to ma�nta�n

3. Lowest amb�ent temperature

4. Area class�ficat�on

�. Power supply

6. Agency approval (�.e., UL, LCIE, or CSA)

4.2 Air

An a�r el�m�nator removes all presence of a�r or vapor that �s present pr�or to the meter�ng.

The a�r el�m�nator uses a float assembly that �s d�rectly connected to a valve v�a l�nkage at

the top of the tank. Dur�ng operat�on the tank �s completely full of l�qu�d. When a�r enters

the tank, the float assembly lowers because of the sudden lower�ng of the tank level; thus,

the valve opens and allows a�r to escape.

Actar�s offers a w�de select�on of a�r/vapor el�m�nators for l�qu�ds �nclud�ng l�quefied

compressed gas appl�cat�ons rang�ng from 2” to �” �n s�ze. The �nformat�on requ�red �s as
