A Slug detection
A coriolis meter is basically a single phase flowmeter. A present of bubbles in liquid / solid in liquid will cause some trouble. Bubbles in liquid will cause much trouble compare with solids in liquid as density different between air with liquid is so much different:
Water density: 1,000 kg/m3 Air density: 1.29 kg/m3 SS density: 5,000+ kg/m3

B When this bubbles enter

the meter, it will create tube movement dampening.

Reading will fluctuates.

The tube will become heavy, thus it needs more power to excite. You can see this by increasing of drive gain. Option /HP is very useful as it allow amplifier to supply more power to excite the tubes. The higher bubbles the coriolis meter may work continuously under dual phase condition, the better it is. Please note that this doesnt mean the coriolis may measure accurately.

C It is difficult to guarantee

measurement accuracy during present of bubbles, because:

It depends on the size of the bubbles It depends on how the bubbles is distributed among two tubes Etc

Generally speaking, it is ok to say that accuracy of density is relatively good for indication, however not for mass flow rate.
In water measurement, density reading of 900 kg/m3 show a 10% present of bubbles.

E Generally, density

measurement can be lower than actual due to bubbles. However, when the density measurement becomes higher than actual, this may be due to corrosion / erosion. By monitoring (and trend of) density measurement, customer may see if the tube may have been corroded or eroded over the time. Temperature measurement is also mandatory as density may go higher when the temperature change. Option /K6 will be very useful to give accurate density measurement.

F In a batch process, many

times, the pipe (and the coriolis meter) is empty during the beginning and end of the batch due to flushing. This condition will cause error in measurement, due to dual phase liquid. As explained in page 5, the density reading will be lower than expected in the dual phase condition. Customer may set a condition on which mass flow measurement will start if only density condition achieved. For instant, in a drips liquid filling batch, the measurement start (or stop) when density reading is higher (or lower) than 700 kg/m3.

care of the setting when using this function. A series of on site test of the right value of empty pipe condition with damping time and low flow cut off may allow optimized performance of the ROTAMASS. Guideline:
To set damping as low as possible, thus ROTAMASS respond immediately. To adjust low flow cut off as low as possible, however it should remove the zero instability.

G Customer needs to do zero

adjustment after install the ROTAMASS for the first time. This is required in order to obtain the output signal that are accurately proportional to the flow. Procedure for zero adjustment:
Flush the meter with fluid under process condition. Stop flow by closing upstream and downstream valve. Wait for 2 minutes to allow density and temperature to be stabilized. In liquid measurement, check that density reading is not lower than expected. Perform autozero. Store autozero value in the history.

Advance Diagnostic for Increased Process Visibility Competitor claim zero adjustment in not necessary for their Coriolis Zero-ing is required when zero verification procedure fails. Verifying the zero helps you determine if the stored zero value is appropriate to your installation, or if a field zero can improve measurement accuracy. The zero verification procedure analyzes the Live Zero value under conditions of zero flow and compares it to the Zero Stability range for the sensor. If the average Live Zero value is within a reasonable range, the zero value stored in the transmitter is valid. Performing a field calibration will not improve measurement accuracy. Preparation procedure:

Allow the flowmeter to warm up for at least 20 minutes after applying power. Run the process fluid through the sensor until the sensor temperature reaches the normal process operating temperature. Stop flow through the sensor by shutting the downstream valve, and then the upstream valve if available. Verify that the sensor is blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is completely full of process fluid.

G After autozero, check

whether zero value and zero fluctuation is higher than expected. If so, check whether ROTAMASS has been installed properly ROTAMASS can stores 5 values of zero value in the history. This is to:
check whether auto zero has been done properly check whether zero value drift over the time

Transmitter failure messages

Slug flow and output saturated messages

Conditions such as slug flow (gas slugs in a liquid flow stream), adversely affect sensor performance by causing erratic vibration of the flow tubes, which in turn causes the transmitter to produce inaccurate flow signals.
The message display reads "SLUG FLOW". The frequency/pulse output goes to 0 Hz. The mA outputs indicating the flow rate go to the level that represents zero flow.

Informational messages

Zero too noisy. It is due to mechanical noise. Zero too high / too low. It is due to flow during auto zero.

Verify the Zero Verifying the zero helps you determine if the stored zero value is appropriate to your installation, or if a field zero can improve measurement accuracy. The zero verification procedure analyzes the Live Zero value under conditions of zero flow, and compares it to the Zero Stability range for the sensor. If the average Live Zero value is within a reasonable range, the zero value stored in the transmitter is valid. Performing afield calibration will not improve measurement accuracy. Live zero: The real-time bidirectional mass flow rate with no flow damping or mass flow cutoff applied. An adaptive damping value is applied only when the mass flow rate changes dramatically over a very short interval. Unit = configured mass flow measurement unit. Field Verification Zero: A 3-minute running average of the Live Zero value, calculated by the transmitter. Unit = configured mass flow measurement unit. Zero Verification: A procedure used to evaluate the stored zero and determine whether or not a field zero can improve measurement accuracy.

Options for Measurement Support

Smart Meter Verification evaluates the structural integrity of the sensor tubes by comparing current tube stiffness to the stiffness measured at the factory. Stiffness is defined as the load per unit deflection, or force divided by displacement. Because a change in structural integrity changes the sensors response to mass and density, this value can be used as an indicator of measurement performance. Meter validation compares flowmeter measurements reported by the transmitter to an external measurement standard. Meter validation requires one data point. Calibration establishes the relationship between a process variable and the signal produced at the sensor. You can calibrate the flowmeter for zero, density, and temperature. Density and temperature calibration require two data points (low and high) and an external measurement for each.

Smart Meter Verification

The transmitter must be paired with an enhanced core processor, and the Smart Meter Verification option must be ordered for the transmitter. Although it is not necessary to match factory conditions or change the transmitter's configuration during a Smart Meter Verification test, the test will run more smoothly when conditions are stable.
Maintain a constant fluid pressure and temperature. Avoid changes to fluid composition, e.g., two-phase flow or settling. Maintain a constant flow rate. The Smart Meter Verification test runs best when flow is stopped through the sensor.
