APPLICATIONS ARE EXPANDING AS NEW MASS FLOWMETER DESIGNS EMERGE - AND THERE'S MORE TO COME

Mass flowmeters have come a long way since the heady days of the late '70s and the first commercially available on-line Coriolis tubes. Not only have several Coriolis designs emerged, but other technologies-like thermal sensing - have moved on to cover wider flow ranges and more fluids. Further, meters that handle the problems of hazardous areas are available, and we're witnessing the advent of smart versions.

Before Coriolis, if mass flow was the measurand you wanted, derived, rather than direct measurement was the only way - unless you were talking about very low flows, or gas mass flow (for which thermal sensing came on …
