What is the working principal of Mass flow transmitter?

Answer Posted / sam

It is a combination of a flow meter and a density meter
combined either as one unit or two separate instruments and
the final mass flow calculation gets done at a remote
location. Good example of a all in one unit is the Coriolis
meter. You can read the flow, the density or the mass flow
directly from it and configure its output to give you
whatever you need to be displayed on your supervisory system.
The principle it works on is vibration tubes. The variance
in vibration is a direct and proportional result due to the
variance in flow. So the frequency of the vibration is
monitored and converted into the output signal obviously
with some calculations inside to get the density and mass
flow as well.
Good luck

Q1: Consider part of a control loop, which excludes the transmitter, consisting of a process, a controller and a control valve which may be represented by two dead times of 0.5 min each and three exponential lags of 0.8 min., 1.0 min. and 1.5 min. respectively. We wish to express this system as an overall first order plus dead time (FOPLD) model ie gain, time constant and process dead time. (We will see later that this is often done, to simplify controller tuning). For this exercise, gain is considered to be 1.0. (A) If the transmitter is a flow transmitter whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.2 min. and an exponential lag of 0.5 min. in terms of the overall dead time and overall first order lag how can the system behaviour be approximated ? Overall dead time = Overall time constant = (B) If the transmitter is a temperature transmitter with a temperature sensor in a protecting well whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.7 min. and an exponential lag of 15 min. how can the overall system behaviour be approximated now? Overall dead time = Overall time constant =
