Abstract

In a coriolis flow meter, two drivers are provided and a measure of mass flow rate derived from the adjustment of the input signals to each driver required to achieve a desired phase shift in the output. This may give higher accuracy compared to conventional meters in which the phase shift is simply measured, and may also enable determination of other characteristics of the fluid.
