Coriolis flow meter technology is a highly precise method of fluid measurement that operates by directly calculating true mass flow rate rather than fluid volume (Gace, 2022). The system functions by using an internal drive coil to vibrate one or more measuring tubes at their natural resonant frequency (Henry et al., 2013; Shuuji, n.d.). When a fluid or gas passes through these oscillating tubes, its inertial mass generates an acceleration known as the Coriolis force, which induces a subtle twist or distortion in the tube's vibration pattern (Gace, 2022; Shuuji, n.d.). Symmetrically placed pick-off sensors at the inlet and outlet sections detect this distortion, measuring a microscopic phase shift or time delay that is directly proportional to the mass flow rate (Henry et al., 2013; Wang & Baker, 2014). Concurrently, because the fluid's mass alters the overall resonant frequency of the tube assembly, these meters can simultaneously determine the real-time density of the medium (Henry et al., 2013; Shuuji, n.d.). This dual-capability renders Coriolis technology largely independent of fluid properties like viscosity, temperature, and electrical conductivity, making it an invaluable standard across demanding industrial sectors such as oil and gas, biopharmaceuticals, and chemical processing (Gace, 2022; Flow, n.d.).
