ROTAMASS is the integral and remote type Coriolis Mass and Density Flow Meter. Both types have highly refined digital signal processing electronics, so that accurate and stable mass flow measurement is achieved.
The ROTAMASS Coriolis Meter employs a flame-proof type converter case suitable for use in the hazardous area together with its intrinsically safety type detector.
Elite Coriolis Flow Meter ROTAMASS's signal processing, housing protection and its detector's special decoupling system against external loads and vibrations, realize high performance in real applications.
Coriolis Mass Flow Measuring Principle
The Coriolis Effect refers to a function of inertia that affects oscillation in tubes. Coriolis meters use tubes to detect fluctuations of frequencies in the Coriolis force in order to measure mass and density flow.
Coriolis versus Thermal Mass Flow for Gases and Liquids
Thermal and Coriolis gas mass flowmeters are both direct means of measuring gas.
Custody transfer approved Coriolis mass flowmeters are very accurate, even at low flow rates, and are able to measure mixtures including fluids transitioning between liquid and gas states. They require minimal maintenance.
Thermal mass flow meters work differently, tracking the transfer and dispersion of heat to measure mass. These tend to be low-cost and can measure very low-density gas, but thermal mass flow meters can also be less accurate.

- CENTUM CS 3000 plays key role in Malaysian waste oil to diesel project.
- Yokogawa proposed to provide its systems and services as the main instrument vendor.
- As the main automation contractor (MAC) for this plant construction project, Yokogawa Brazil engineered, installed, and commissioned an integrated control and instrumentation solution
- Yokogawa Brazil completed the commissioning of these systems ahead of schedule and the production of green polymer was started just one week later

A power plant in the Northeast was under pressure to meet State EPA requirements of reporting fuel consumption (used for emissions monitoring). The issue was digging a costly trench from the pump house to the control room building in order to run fiber optic cable that delivers a flow meter signal to the plant's historian where reports could be generated. The cost would be $20,000.00 alone to dig the trench.
Flow measurement of high pressure hydraulic fluid to servos to monitor leaks can translate to huge savings. However, measuring these fluids can be difficult due to the high pressures involved and entrained air, moisture and contamination.
Molten sulfur, bitumen, pitch, paint resins and liquid toffee are just a few of the fluids transported at high temperature. Their fluid properties change wildly with small variations in temperature, which presents a problem for most metering technologies, while the coriolis flow meter is perfect for such measurements.
Flow Measurement of diesel fuel is a relatively basic flow meter application. However, measuring net fuel consumption on a 2.2 megawatt diesel generator is uniquely complex. The diesel engine requires a supply fuel line (fuel from the tank to the engine) and a return fuel line (fuel from the engine back to the tank).
Fossil fuels have long been used as a heat source in power generation. Coal is one of the more common fuels, but environmental concerns have led to a great deal of time, effort and money being spent on the reduction of pollutants resulting from the use of coal.
Accurate tracking of a facility's intake and output is needed as multiple state and federal agencies and environmental programs are involved. Since re-refined oil is considered a renewable resource it qualifies for various state and federal energy credits or pollution programs, so accurate accounting is critical.
The Coriolis flow meter has many features such as direct measurement of mass flow and measurement of fluid density, which other flow meters do not support. Therefore, since being introduced for practical use in the late 1970s, its market has rapidly expanded in many industries such as oil, chemicals, and foods.
Thanks to a two year upgrade project, Foster's Yatala brewery is now one of the country's most efficient integrated brewing and packaging operations. More than 1,100 measurement and control devices from instrument manufacturer Yokogawa Australia will help keep it that way.
