... perfumes, pharmaceuticals). Fast dynamic response enables improved accuracy in the measurement of two phase flows and very recent experience, [2], has shown that a rapid meter response contributes to both improved repeatability and accuracy in Coriolis meter calibration using small volume provers (e.g. a displacement of 20 gallons in 2 s). Other relevant applications include the rapid control (loop time less than 100 ms) of fuel flow to static gas turbine engines in order to conform to current emissions legislation. ...
The paper identifies the requirements for both a Coriolis flow-tube and the associated flow-transmitter, to achieve an ultra-fast dynamic response. A ‘new’ meter was assembled using a commercially available straight flow-tube, selected for its high drive (fundamental resonant) frequency of about 750 Hz (water-filled) and this was interfaced with a newly extended version of Oxford’s digital transmitter technology. This new transmitter gives measurement updates that are calculated every half drive-cycle, at 1.5 kHz, and are output via a high precision frequency pulse signal. Dynamic response tests in the laboratory and during a field trial have shown the ‘new’ meter to have a response time at least an order of magnitude faster than was reported previously [Clark C, Cheesewright R. Experimental determination of the dynamic response of Coriolis mass flow meters. Flow Measurement and Instrumentation 2006;17:39–47] from tests on the fastest response commercially available Coriolis meters. The ‘new’ meter shows a typical delay of 3.8 ms between a change in fluid flow rate and the corresponding change in the frequency output. Suggested further developments of the new transmitter technology indicate a route that could be followed to produce transmitters suitable for the newly emerging micro-machined Coriolis flow-tubes, which have fundamental resonant frequencies in the range 10–30 kHz.
