Abstract
Measurement of flow rate is an important parameter in an industrial process. The instrument used is called a
flow meter. Coriolis mass flow meter is one of the flow meter technologies are relatively new to utilizing the
coriolis effect. Limited references and expensive price compared to other types of flow meters causing training
on the working principle of the coriolis mass flow meter for metrology resources are still very limited.
Meanwhile, many industries began using this instrument because of several advantages, including high
rangeability and accuracy. Therefore, need a simulator demonstration coriolis mass flow meter for the benefit of
education and training of skilled labor candidate metrology.
The focus of this paper is to show the working principle of the coriolis mass flow meter through the simulator
demonstration. The simulator consists of several components, namely flow tube as a fluid flows, motor as a
driver tube, and TCRT 5000 sensors to detect oscillation pattern of the inlet and outlet tube. Results obtained in
the form of a voltage value that is sent through the PLX-DAQ software and visualized in graphical form.
Keywords: flow rate, the coriolis effect, coriolis mass flow meter, simulator demonstration.
