How Does the AC Series Coriolis Mass Flowmeter Redefine Precision, Efficiency, and Reliability in Modern Industrial Flow Measurement?

Technological Innovation: The Core of the AC Series Coriolis Mass Flowmeter

At the heart of the AC Series Coriolis Mass Flowmeter lies the Coriolis principle, where fluid moving through oscillating bent tubes generates inertial forces that cause measurable deflection. The AC Series utilizes a micro-bend design—a technological advancement that enhances measurement sensitivity while reducing both pressure loss and instrument footprint. This compact yet highly efficient structure allows seamless installation in skid-mounted systems and mobile applications, where space and pressure stability are vital.

Traditional Coriolis meters often face challenges such as excessive pressure drop, complex installation, and limited compatibility with low-flow or high-viscosity fluids. However, the AC Series Coriolis Mass Flowmeter overcomes these limitations through its optimized vibration dynamics and advanced digital signal processing algorithms. These ensure stable readings even in turbulent or pulsating flow conditions, enabling accurate mass flow measurement with an impressive precision of up to ±0.1%.

In addition to flow accuracy, the AC Series integrates high-performance RTD sensors to monitor temperature variations in real time. This allows operators to compensate for density and viscosity changes dynamically, ensuring that every measurement reflects the true mass flow under actual operating conditions. The combination of mechanical refinement and intelligent sensing makes this flowmeter not just a measurement tool, but a complete process monitoring solution.

Moreover, its multivariable capability—measuring mass flow, density, and temperature simultaneously—makes it ideal for custody transfer, process control, and product quality assurance. This single-device functionality reduces system complexity and enhances reliability, offering both cost efficiency and operational safety.

Superior Design and Construction: Compact, Durable, and Corrosion-Resistant

The AC Series Coriolis Mass Flowmeter is meticulously engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of industrial environments. Its measuring tubes are available in 316L stainless steel, Hastelloy C, and other special alloys, ensuring resistance to corrosion, high pressure, and chemical attack. This robust construction allows the meter to perform reliably in industries dealing with aggressive fluids, such as acids, alkalis, solvents, and hydrocarbons.

The micro-bend tube geometry not only minimizes installation space but also provides a low-pressure-loss advantage compared with traditional dual-loop Coriolis designs. This makes it highly suitable for mobile platforms, offshore rigs, or compact skid systems, where efficiency and stability are critical. The compact body design also facilitates easy integration into existing pipelines without requiring major modifications, significantly reducing downtime and installation costs.

Beyond durability, the AC Series offers long-term stability and minimal maintenance requirements. Its vibration-resistant structure and digital compensation algorithms ensure consistent calibration, even under continuous operation. For industries that demand uninterrupted performance—such as petrochemical refineries, food processing plants, and energy production facilities—this reliability translates directly into improved productivity and reduced operational risk.

Furthermore, the external surface of the AC Series Coriolis Mass Flowmeter can be treated for enhanced resistance to oxidation and fouling, maintaining optimal performance even in high-humidity or high-temperature environments. Combined with its precision electronics and rugged mechanical integrity, this flowmeter provides a lasting return on investment for industrial users worldwide.

In petrochemical and energy applications, it enables precise control in fuel blending, LPG transfer, and custody transfer operations, meeting metrological standards for legally traceable mass measurements.

In the food and beverage industry, the AC Series ensures mass-accurate measurement of syrups, oils, dairy fats, and flavorings, enabling inline quality control that guarantees product uniformity across batches. Its sanitary construction options support CIP/SIP cleaning environments, ensuring compliance with hygienic regulations.

For automotive applications, the meter plays a critical role in AdBlue (urea) dosing systems, engine oil blending, and additive control, where even slight deviations in composition can affect engine performance. In the water treatment sector, it is used for precise chemical dosing, optimizing coagulant and pH control to improve treatment efficiency while minimizing reagent waste.

The AC Series Coriolis Mass Flowmeter also finds application in mining and metallurgy, where it regulates slurry and reagent feed in leaching, flotation, and sedimentation units. Its ability to handle abrasive fluids and maintain stable readings in challenging environments makes it indispensable for maintaining consistency in mineral processing operations.

This wide-ranging adaptability reflects the flowmeter’s ability to meet the demands of modern industrial automation, where versatility, reliability, and data accuracy are indispensable.
