Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor Rheonik RHM160

The Measurement Principle

Each mass flow meter has two measuring tubes. The oscillating system is driven by two controlled electromagnetic excitation coils. As liquids or gases flow through the oscillating omega tubes, the Coriolis force is created and causes a slight deflection of the two measuring tubes from their original shape.

The opposing tubes are referenced to each other and the changes in deflection are proportional to the mass flow rate. In practice, the referencing is done by attaching small pickup coils that generate sinusoidal voltages. The degree of deviation of the phase shift is directly proportional to the mass flow.

The RHM 160 is the ultimate cargo and pipeline meter. With a combination of high accuracy and low-pressure drop, the RHM 160 is the perfect solution for rapidly transferring large fluid quantities with confidence.

  • At Qnom pressure drop will be approximately 1 bar (14 psi) for H20. Sensors can be operated at higher flow rates but pressure drop will be higher. Maximum recommended velocity (liquid) through the sensor is 15 m/s. Beyond this point, cavitation may occur. Qmin is the recommended lowest flow rate. Sensors will measure flow rates lower than Qmin, but uncertainty may increase beyond 0.5% of rate.

These flow rate and pressure drop statements relate to standard pressure tube sensor versions. Models with higher pressure ratings have increased wall thickness and will have higher pressure drops and lower Qnom values.
