The new Coriolis devices measure mass flow, volume flow-rate, density, concentration and temperature of liquids and gases. The new Coriolis platform with integrated Lifecycle-Management has a four-wire mass flowmeter which will set totally new standards in the industry, according to Rota-Yokogawa managing director Andreas Dobratz.

Dobratz is confident that the Rotamass TI offers optimized specifications under process conditions and supports more and more applications. “The holistic approach of the Total-Insight philosophy helps the customers in all the phases of the product life cycle in improving the operations and plant maintenance.”

Mass Flowmeters: Versatile Solutions

Background: Mass flowmeters are known for their high measurement accuracy: Influences through temperature and pressure fluctuations are comparatively very low. As Dobratz emphasises, these measuring instruments are multifunctional high-performance devices that measure concentrations among other things, they work as Net Oil Computer (NOC) and they can even measure the heat quantity.

“They can also perform under the most severe process conditions, for example in highly viscous media, liquids with gas content and even actual two-phase mixtures. It gives first class performance in all these conditions.

Full Visibility

Since 1993 the subsidiary Rota-Yokogawa has produced the Coriolis mass flowmeter of the Rotamass series and they have been continually developing these products further to increase the benefit to the customer and investment securities. With the new product portfolio customers are supposed to get an even broader insight into the processes. This is the basis for a significantly improved efficiency and flexibility in the process management as well as for an optimized maintenance concept.
