Evolution of the Coriolis Flowmeters

Zh.A. Dayev

Abstract


This article presents a historical overview of the development of key elements of Coriolis flowmeters, in particular the basic work, describing the development of the primary flow transducers. This article provides information on how to change the design of Coriolis flowmeters from the very first prototype of these partings to the present day. From the literature reviewed, we conclude that the development of primary transducers of the  Coriolis flowmeters can be divided into two periods. The first part is connected with fact that the formation of the Coriolis acceleration is achieved by rotating the liquid in pipe. Second period describes a situation when the Coriolis acceleration is achieved by vibratory tubes. Article is recommended for professionals working in organizations that are engaged in the development and operation of the flow technology.
