A Coriolis flow meter is used for monitoring and measuring the flow of liquid, steam, and high-pressure gas within a piping system. Typically, Coriolis flow meters are only used in heavy-duty industrial applications, whereas other flow meter technology types can be used in applications that aren’t necessarily considered “industrial” in nature.
Coriolis flow meters are also used in applications requiring exceptionally high accuracy and can also be found in lab settings as well. By using the measurement principle of the Coriolis effect, a Coriolis flow meter can compute the flow rate of the media passing through it. Understanding the flow rate of a process ensures that the process is functioning properly.
