A Coriolis flow controller is a sophisticated tool used in fluid management. It merges the capabilities of a Coriolis flow meter with those of a control valve. Its primary function is to gauge the mass flow rate of a fluid and then adjust the opening of the control valve accordingly to maintain the desired flow rate.
Coriolis flow controller applications
These controllers find widespread application in industries where precise fluid control is paramount, such as in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. They play a crucial role in ensuring the stability of production processes and the consistency of product quality. This is achieved by continuously monitoring the mass flow rate in real-time and automatically making adjustments to the valve as necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Coriolis Flow Controllers
Q1: What is the key difference between a Coriolis Flow Controller and a standard flow meter?
A: The key difference lies in the "control" function. A standard flow meter only measures flow rate. In contrast, a Coriolis Flow Controller is an integrated system that combines high-precision measurement with precise control. It contains an internal control valve that automatically and continuously adjusts to maintain a set flow rate, ensuring process stability rather than just displaying a reading.
Q2: Why does the Coriolis principle enable such high measurement accuracy?
A: The Coriolis principle is a direct method of measuring mass flow. It detects the Coriolis force (manifested as a phase shift) generated by fluid moving through oscillating tubes. This method is inherently immune to changes in fluid temperature, pressure, density, or viscosity, which allows it to achieve mass flow measurement accuracy as high as ±0.1%. This fundamental accuracy is what guarantees precise control.
Q3: What other data does this controller provide besides mass flow?
A: Yes, it is a versatile, multi-parameter device. Simultaneously with mass flow, it directly and accurately measures the liqids's density and temperature. Based on mass and density, the system can automatically calculate volume flow. This "multi-in-one" capability eliminates the need for multiple separate sensors, simplifying your system design.
Q4: What types of fluids is it suitable for?
A: It has a very wide applicability and can handle various gases (e.g., Helium, Nitrogen, Argon) and liquids (e.g., greases, adhesives, solvents, additives). It performs reliably with high pressure, high-viscosity fluids, those with trace solids, and in batching applications. Please consult our engineers for your specific fluid.
Q5: In which industries and applications does it provide the most value?
A: It is indispensable in industries with stringent requirements for batching accuracy and process control, such as:
Petrochemical: Precise addition of greases, resins, and additives.
Food & Beverage: Batching control of sugars, cocoa, cream, and concentrates.
Pharmaceutical: Accurate dosing of reactants and solvents.
R&D Laboratories: Applications requiring high repeatability for low flow control.
