Technical data
6.1 Measuring principle (twin tube)
A Coriolis twin tube mass flowmeter consists of two measuring tubes 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 tubes causing them to
oscillate and produce a sine wave 3. The sine wave is monitored by the two sensors.
