Description

Illustration for the mass flow meter article, for the purpose of illustrating the mass flow meter operating principle; actual mass flow meters are not designed this way.
This is the second animation of a group of four.
The previous animation is Image:Coriolis_meter_rotating_no-flow_256x256.gif
The next animation is Image:Coriolis_meter_vibrating_no-flow_256x256.gif

Fluid is being pumped through the mass flow meter. When there is mass flow, the tube twists slightly. The arm through which fluid flows away from the axis of rotation must exert a force on the fluid, to increase its angular momentum, so that are bends backwards. The arm though which fluid is pushed back to the axis of rotation must exert a force on the fluid, to decrease the fluid's angular momentum again, hence that arm will bend forward. Summerizing: the inlet arm is lagging behind, the outlet arm is pulling ahead.

A flow meter that uses the Coriolis effect for its operating principle is also called a Coriolis flow meter.

Larger (512x512 pixels) version of this animation: Image:Coriolis_meter_rotating_flow_512x512.gif

Reason for uploading differently sized versions:

Static images are automatically resized by the wikimedia software, hence uploading one version suffices, but animated GIF's cannot be resized by the wikimedia software. The large versions are too large to fit on the page, and they are three times as much Kilobytes in size.
