The RCT1000 Coriolis mass flow meter identifies flow rate by
directly measuring mass flow and density of fluids over a wide
range of process temperatures with a high degree of accuracy. For
homogenous fluids consisting of two components like sugar and
water, the RCT1000 Coriolis system can derive the concentration
and mass of each component based on fluid properties and density
measurement. Furthermore, the unobstructed, open flow design
makes it suitable for a variety of fluids such as slurries and other
viscous, nonconductive fluids that are difficult to measure with
other technologies.
APPLICATIONS
The Coriolis design and measurement principle allows the meter to
be an exceptional device in measuring:
• Adhesives, glues or binding materials
• Coatings and hardeners
• Dyes, fragrances, vitamins and other additives
• Homogeneous suspensions
• Vegetable oils and fats
OPERATION
Coriolis flow meters simultaneously measure mass flow rate,
density and temperature. As fluid flows through the vibrating
sensor tube, forces induced by the flow cause the tube to twist
slightly. These small deflections are measured by carefully placed
detectors. A phase shift occurs between detector signals that is
directly proportional to mass flow rate. As the fluid density varies,
the resonant frequency at which the tube vibrates changes, which
is also measured by the detectors. Temperature is measured by
an internal RTD in order to calculate thermal effects on the tube
vibrating frequency and can be used as a measurement output.
CONTROLS SYSTEM INTEGRATION
RCT1000 transmitters provide a variety of means to integrate the
meter’s output into new and existing operations. The batch and
PID functionality enables direct control of devices, such as valves,
by use of digital or analog outputs. Additionally, programmable
digital outputs can indicate low and high alarm conditions. Network
options are available including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP and
Modbus RTU.
MAINTENANCE
With no internal moving parts, the vibrating tube design has little
impact on mechanical wear, resulting in a longer life expectancy
and in fewer repairs than many other flow technologies.
FLUID DIAGNOSTICS
RCT Console software offers much more than configuration features.
Users can obtain advanced data logging and performance trending
analysis, as well as system verification provided by the unique
HealthTrack feature, which captures critical operation parameters.
ADVANTAGES
• Highly accurate direct measurement of:
◊ Mass flow
◊ Density
• Derive concentration of homogenous liquids containing
two components
• Open flow path
• No straight-run requirements
• Low maintenance operation
• Flexible integration options
