The Cost of a Coriolis Flow Meter
A low cost Coriolis flow meter can be bought directly from reliable China coriolis flow meter manufacturers from Silver Automation Instruments.
Due to their prominent advantages, coriolis flow meters have been developing rapidly in recent years.
Accuracy is high
The measurement of multiple parameters with only one flow sensor (temperature, density, mass flow rate)
Measurement of multiphase mediums, such as liquid mixed gas
A perfect choice for measuring high-viscosity fluids, such as resins and bitumens
Below we list a few factors that affect the coriolis meter price cost. Users are generally more interested in knowing the price cost of coriolis flow meters.
The price of a Coriolis flow meter is affected by several factors
1. The origin and brand of the flow meter manufacturer
Rosemount and Kronhe are some of the top brands of coriolis flow meters that are quite expensive. Due to the constant development of technology in China, some manufacturers are now approved to manufacture stable quality coriolis meters, and also the prices are much lower, so more and more customers are buying China made Coriolis flow meters.
2. Size of the Coriolis flow sensor
It is obvious that DN6 flow meter sensors are more economical than 4 inch coriolis flow meters, which are normally large and more expensive.
3. Material for the wet parts of flow sensors
For the coriolis meter, Silver Automation Instruments sells standard 316L stainless steel material. However, if users need better corrosive resistance material, such as hastelloy, it will cost more.
4. Functions of the Coriolis flow meter
Hart, RS485, batch control, remote display, tri-clamp process connection for hygienic purposes also influence flow meter prices.
5. Temperature and pressure rating
The Coriolis meter normally comes with a 16 Bar pressure rating, but if you require a higher pressure like 32Mpa, the price will be much higher.
It can handle a maximum temperature of 350°C, and the higher the operation temperature needed, the higher the cost.
Silver Automation Instruments always chooses appropriate type coriolis meter with best price and best suitable flow meter if you are not sure which type is best. Just let us know the below technical parameters.
Coriolis mass flowmeter advantages and disadvantages
It replaced some applications of volume flowmeters, velocity flowmeters, differential pressure flowmeters (DP flow meters), etc., after the Coriolis mass flowmeter was introduced to the market, despite the high price. With its irreplaceable advantages, it has occupied the market stably with its outstanding performance.
The advantage of a Coriolis meter
High measurement accuracy can be achieved by taking direct measurements of mass flow.
Among its fluids are high viscosity fluids, liquid-solid two-phase fluids, liquid-gas two-phase fluids containing trace gases, as well as medium and high pressure gases of sufficient density.
The vortex flow and non-uniform flow velocity distribution created by the upstream and downstream pipelines do not affect the performance of the flow sensor. Straight pipe lines are generally not required when installing the sensor.
In this case, the change in fluid viscosity does not significantly affect the measured value.
The measured value is little affected by changes in fluid density.
Multiple outputs can simultaneously output instantaneous mass flow, volume flow, fluid density, fluid temperature, and other signals. Many models support batch control functions and have multiple digital inputs and outputs.
Measurement of bidirectional flow
It can take measurement of high viscosity fluids, such as crude oil, heavy oil, residual oil, etc. Previously, volumetric flowmeters, target flowmeters, etc., were used to measure flow. Now, Coriolis mass flowmeters are used, which have good reliability and accurate measurement results.
Coriolis flow meters have a number of disadvantages
Flow meter accuracy is affected by poor zero stability.
Fluids with low density, such as low pressure or low density gas, cannot be measured with this instrument.
A slight increase in gas content in the liquid may result in a significant increase in measurement error.
Interference caused by external vibrations is sensitive to them.
There is no possibility of using it for larger diameters, as the maximum size we can make is an 8 inch Coriolis flow meter.
In the case of a liquid with a high saturated vapor pressure, pressure loss could cause vaporization and cavitation of the liquid.
