CORIOLIS VISCOMETER USING PARALLEL CONNECTED CORIOLIS MASS FLOWMETERS

摘要

A pair of flowmeters having unequal flow carrying capabilities are effectively connected in parallel to receive a material flow. The material flow through the flowmeters supplies output signals to associated meter electronics which derives mass flow and other information for each meter. The meter electronics is pre-programmed with information regarding the physical characteristics of each flowmeter. The meter electronics uses the pre-programmed information and the derived material flow velocity for each meter and other information to determine the viscosity for the material in the flowmeters.
