FAQ of SH-CMF Series Coriolis Mass Flow Meter

Frequently Asked Questions you may concern

Can SH-CMF Series Coriolis meter measure medium density? 

Yes. The SH-CMF Series Coriolis meter is capable of measuring medium density in real time. You can check the density value directly on the digital display, or configure a 4-20mA analog output signal for density monitoring in your control system. This makes it ideal for applications where fluid density needs to be continuously tracked or recorded.

Does SH-CMF Series Coriolis mass flow meter have tri-clamp process connection for hygienic industry? 

Yes, we offer tri-clover (tri-clamp) sanitary process connections suitable for the food & beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and other hygienic industries. This connection type ensures easy cleaning and meets sanitary standards. Please specify this requirement at the time of inquiry and ordering so we can configure the meter accordingly.

Can Coriolis mass flow meter measure liquid containing gas? Such as measuring R410a refrigerant flow? 

Yes, Coriolis flow meters can measure liquids containing entrained gas, including refrigerants such as R410a. The Coriolis measurement principle is not significantly affected by small amounts of gas in the liquid, making it suitable for such applications. However, for best accuracy, it is recommended to keep gas content as low as possible. Please describe your specific application conditions when inquiring so we can recommend the most suitable model.

Does Silver Automation Instruments offer batch control functionality in a Coriolis mass flow meter.?

 Yes, the SH-CMF Series Coriolis Mass Flow meter supports a batch control option. This function allows you to preset a target batch quantity, and the meter will automatically control the flow cutoff when the set amount is reached. It is widely used in filling, blending, and dosing applications. Please select the batch control option when placing your order.

We want to measure a dirty medium containing grease. Can this mass flow meter show the grease percentage?

 Yes, the SH-CMF Series supports a "Percent of A" (also referred to as "Percent Solids") feature in its configuration list. This function calculates and displays the concentration or percentage of one component within a mixture, such as grease content in a fluid. It is a useful feature for quality control and process monitoring in industries dealing with mixed or multi-component media.

Can the Coriolis mass flow meter handle measure Molasses with a viscosity of 50,000 to 100,000 cPoise? 

Yes, the SH-CMF Series Coriolis mass flow meter is capable of handling high-viscosity fluids. The current maximum viscosity our meter can measure is up to 500,000 cPoise, so molasses with a viscosity in the range of 50,000 to 100,000 cPoise is well within the operating range. No special modifications are required for this application.

What is the country of origin for the SH-CMF Coriolis Mass Flow meter?

 The SH-CMF Series Coriolis Mass Flow meter is designed and manufactured in China. We adhere to strict quality control standards throughout the production process to ensure reliable and accurate performance for our customers worldwide.

Can you offer a heated tube (jacket) version of the Coriolis mass flow meter?

 Yes, we offer a heated tube (heat-traced or jacketed) version of the SH-CMF Series Coriolis mass flow meter. It is particularly useful to measure fluids that solidify, crystallize, or thicken at ambient temperatures, such as bitumen, resins, chocolate, or certain chemicals. Please specify this requirement when placing your inquiry or order.

Can the SH-CMF Series Coriolis meter be used for gas flow measurement?

 Yes, while Coriolis meters are most commonly used for liquid measurement, the SH-CMF Series can also measure gas and steam flow under certain conditions. The meter measures mass flow directly, which is particularly advantageous for gas applications where density variations due to temperature and pressure changes can affect volumetric measurements. Please provide your gas type, operating pressure, temperature, and expected flow range so we can confirm suitability.

What output signals are available on the SH-CMF Series Coriolis Mass Flow meter? 

The SH-CMF Series supports multiple output options to suit various control and monitoring systems, including 4-20mA analog output (for mass flow, volume flow, or density), pulse/frequency output, RS485 digital communication (Modbus RTU), and HART protocol (optional). These flexible output options make integration with PLCs, DCS, and SCADA systems straightforward.

Is the SH-CMF Series suitable for hazardous area installations?

 Yes, explosion-proof versions of the SH-CMF Series are available for use in hazardous locations. These units are certified for use in environments with flammable gases or dust, such as chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and refineries. Please specify the hazardous area classification (e.g., ATEX, IECEx, or local standards) when inquiring so we can provide the appropriate certified model.

What is the accuracy of the SH-CMF Series Coriolis Mass Flow meter? 

The SH-CMF Series offers high measurement accuracy, typically ±0.1% to ±0.2% for liquid mass flow measurement, and ±0.5% for gas measurement. Density measurement accuracy is typically ±0.001 g/cm³. Coriolis is one of the most precise mass flow measurement solutions available now in the market.

What pipe sizes (flow ranges) are available for the SH-CMF Coriolis meter? 

The SH-CMF Series is available in a wide range of pipe sizes to accommodate different flow requirements, typically from DN6 (1/4 inch) up to DN200 (8 inch) or larger sizes for special orders. Each size corresponds to a specific flow range. Please provide your expected minimum and maximum flow rates so we can recommend the most appropriate meter size for your application.

What is the delivery time for the Coriolis Mass Flow meter from factory?

 Standard delivery time is normally 10–12 working days after payment is received. For large quantity orders or meters with special functions and custom configurations, delivery time may vary. Please contact Silver Automation Instruments in advance to confirm the lead time and ensure your project schedule is met.
