Flow Sensors

Flow sensors play a critical role in monitoring and controlling fluid movement across industrial systems. They measure the rate or quantity of liquid, gas, or slurry passing through a pipeline, helping operators ensure accuracy, efficiency and process safety.

How Flow Sensors Work

Coriolis flow sensors determine mass flow by measuring the deflection of vibrating tubes as fluid passes through them. This vibration shift caused by the Coriolis effect is directly proportional to the mass flow rate.

Integrated electronics convert these signals into precise digital or analog outputs, allowing continuous monitoring of flow, density, and temperature in real time.

This direct measurement principle eliminates the need for pressure or temperature compensation, ensuring consistent performance across varying process conditions.

Why Choose Coriolis Flow Sensors

Coriolis-based flow sensors offer unmatched precision, making them suitable for both low and high-flow industrial operations.

Key Advantages Include:

True Mass Flow Measurement: Delivers accurate readings regardless of temperature, viscosity, or density changes.
Multi-Variable Output: Provides simultaneous flow, density, and temperature data.
No Moving Parts: Maintenance-free design ensures long-term reliability.
High Repeatability: Excellent accuracy in batching, dosing, and blending operations.
Flexible Mounting: Suitable for horizontal or vertical installation without affecting accuracy.
Hygienic and Industrial Versions: Compatible with both sanitary and general process systems.

These benefits make Coriolis flow sensors an ideal choice for precise process monitoring and energy-efficient system performance.
