Considerations For Using Large Diameter Coriolis Mass Flow Meters In Oil & Gas Applications

By Steffen Baecker, KROHNE, Inc.

During the last decade manufacturers have been launching larger Coriolis mass flow meters to satisfy the requirement for mass flow measurement in larger line sizes for bulk fluid transfer applications in oil and gas, chemical, or petrochemical industry segments. The high-performance mass flow and density accuracy specifications of the Coriolis flow meters have made this technology become more and more popular. Until now, there were very few manufacturers producing larger line size Coriolis flow meters in the market.
