Function and system design

Measuring principle The measuring principle is based on the controlled generation of Coriolis forces. These forces always
occur in a system where translational (linear) and rotational movements are superimposed
simultaneously.
FC = 2 · Δm (v · ω)
FC = Coriolis force
Δm = moving mass
ω = rotational velocity
v = radial velocity in rotating or oscillating system

The size of the Coriolis force depends on the moving mass Δm, its velocity v in the system, and thus the
mass flow. Instead of a constant rotational velocity ω, the sensor uses oscillation.
In the sensor, two parallel measuring tubes containing flowing fluid oscillate in antiphase, acting like
a tuning fork. The Coriolis forces produced at the measuring tubes cause a phase shift in the tube
oscillations (see illustration):
• At zero flow, in other words when the fluid is at a standstill, the two tubes oscillate in phase (1).
• Mass flow causes deceleration of the tube oscillation at the inlet (2) and acceleration at the outlet
(3).

A A A

B B B

1 2 3
A0006995

The phase difference (A-B) increases with increasing mass flow. Electrodynamic sensors register the
tube oscillations at the inlet and outlet. System balance is ensured by the antiphase oscillation of the
two measuring tubes. The measuring principle works independently of temperature, pressure,
viscosity, conductivity and flow profile.
Density measurement
The measuring tubes are always excited at their resonance frequency. A change in the mass and thus
the density of the oscillating system (comprising measuring tubes and fluid) results in a corresponding,
automatic adjustment in the exciter frequency. Resonance frequency is thus a function of fluid density.
The microprocessor utilizes this relationship to obtain a density signal.
Temperature measurement
To make calculations to compensate for temperature effects, the temperature of the measuring tubes
is measured. This signal corresponds to the process temperature and is also available as an output
signal.

Influence of medium pressure The following section shows the effect on accuracy of mass flow due to a difference between calibration
pressure and process pressure is negligible.

Installation
Installation instructions Note the following points:
• No special measures such as supports are necessary. The housing absorbs external forces.
• The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations.
• No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence (valves, elbows,
T-pieces, etc.).

Inlet and outlet runs There are no installation requirements regarding inlet and outlet runs.

Special installation Turning the transmitter housing

Certificates and approvals

CE mark The measuring system is in conformity with the statutory requirements of the EC Directives.
Endress+Hauser confirms successful testing of the device by affixing to it the CE mark.

C-Tick symbol The measuring system complies with the EMC requirements of the "Australian Communications and
Media Authority (ACMA)".

Ex approval Information about currently available Ex versions (ATEX, FM, CSA) can be supplied by your E+H Sales
Center on request. All explosion protection data are given in a separate Ex documentation, which is
available upon request.

Approval for custody transfer Information about currently available approvals for custody transfer can be supplied by your E+H Sales
Center on request.

Modbus certification The measuring device meets all the requirements of the Modbus/TCP conformity and integration test
and has the "Modbus/TCP Conformance Test Policy, Version 2.0". The measuring device has
successfully passed all the test procedures carried out and is certified by the "Modbus/TCP
Conformance Test Laboratory" of the University of Michigan.

Pressure Equipment Directive The measuring devices can be ordered with or without PED (Pressure Equipment Directive). If a device
with PED is required, this must be ordered explicitly. For devices with nominal diameters less than or
equal to DN 25 (1"), this is neither possible nor necessary.
• With the identification PED/G1/III on the sensor nameplate, Endress+Hauser confirms conformity
with the "Basic safety requirements" of Appendix I of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
• Devices with this identification (with PED) are suitable for the following types of fluid:
– Fluids of Group 1 and 2 with a steam pressure greater than, or smaller and equal to 0.5 bar
(7.3 psi)
– Unstable gases
• Devices without this identification (without PED) are designed and manufactured according to good
engineering practice. They correspond to the requirements of Art. 3, Section 3 of the Pressure
Equipment Directive 97/23/EC. Their application is illustrated in Diagrams 6 to 9 in Appendix II of
the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.

monitored and measuring points analyzed. The data are stored in the 256 MB
internal memory and also on a DSD card or USB stick. Memograph M boasts a
modular design, intuitive operation and a comprehensive security concept. The
ReadWin® 2000 PC software is part of the standard package and is used for
configuring, visualizing and archiving the data captured. The mathematics channels
which are optionally available enable continuous monitoring of specific power
consumption, boiler efficiency and other parameters which are important for
efficient energy management.
