mini CORI-FLOW Coriolis Flow Meter & Controller

Low Flow Coriolis Mass Flow Meters / Controllers for Liquid and Gases

mini CORI-FLOW™ Mass Flow Meters and Controllers are precise and compact instruments, based on the Coriolis measuring principle, designed to cover the needs of the low flow market. Bronkhorst^® model MI140 Mass Flow Meter (MFM) is suited for highly accurate control of liquid flow in the range of 0…30 kg/h (which corresponds with 0…400 l_n/min when used on nitrogen) at operating pressures up to 200 bar. The instruments are equipped with a robust IP66/IP67 weatherproof housing with screw terminal connections.

The instrument contains a microprocessor based pc-board with signal and fieldbus conversion and a PID controller for optional mass flow control by means of a separately mounted control valve or pump.
