Quick Answer: Silver Automation Instruments supplies Coriolis flowmeter sinks as elite process control instrumentation for manufacturing plants that need direct mass flow, density, and temperature data. Accuracy is typically plus or minus 0.1 percent of rate, with models from DN15 to DN150. Send pressure (bar), temperature (°C), pipe size (DN), and flow range to WhatsApp +86-25-52155837 for a same-day quote.
In practice most plant engineers do not buy a bare sensor. They buy a Coriolis meter set that includes a flow tube, driver coils, PT100 temperature input, and a transmitter. We call the complete mounting and wiring assembly a flowmeter sink because it sits between the process line and the control system. The sink provides stable mass flow output even when viscosity, density, or temperature shifts.
A chemical plant in Saudi Arabia runs a 40 bar solvent line. The plant replaced a turbine meter with a Coriolis flowmeter sink because batch weight drifted by 0.8 percent. After the change, batch weight stayed within 0.15 percent. This is the real reason manufacturing plants buy Coriolis mass flow meters. They need batch repeatability, not just a clean display.
A volumetric meter measures volume. A Coriolis flowmeter sink measures mass. That difference matters in chemical dosing and oil transfer. If temperature changes from 25 °C to 60 °C, the same volume can carry a different mass. Plants in Africa and the Middle East see wide day and night temperature swings. With a Coriolis meter, the control system receives kg/h directly. There is no separate density compensation loop.
Silver Automation Instruments offers Coriolis flowmeter sinks from DN15 to DN150 in 316L stainless steel, with Hastelloy C22 for acids and seawater. Pressure ratings go from 0 to 100 bar depending on size. Fluid temperature range is -200 °C to 350 °C. Outputs include 4-20 mA HART, pulse, and RS485 Modbus. Density accuracy reaches plus or minus 0.0005 grams per cubic cm3. These numbers matter when you dose chemicals, measure edible oil, or monitor LNG.
For food and beverage plants we often size a DN25 or DN40 meter for chocolate, syrup, or beer. For oil and gas custody transfer we may use DN50 to DN100 with ATEX Zone 1 approval. Desalination plants in the Middle East typically need a seawater flow meter for desalination plant lines with Hastelloy C22 wetted parts. In Vietnam a paint manufacturer asked us for a DN20 Coriolis flowmeter sink on a solvent line. We asked for solvent viscosity in cP, flow range in kg/h, and pipe schedule. With those three data points we quoted the right model the same day.
On customer sites many people skip the grounding check. A Coriolis meter can read unstable if the sensor cable runs next to a variable frequency drive. We have seen this in a wastewater plant in Australia. The plant used a 4-20 mA HART signal. The signal jumped every time a nearby pump started. The fix was not a new meter. It was screened cable and a separate cable tray. Small details like this decide whether the meter reports stable mass flow to the DCS or PLC.
Install the meter in a location that stays full of liquid. Do not mount it at the highest point on a line with gas breakout. For batch dosing in food plants, put a small air eliminator upstream if the product foams. But pipe supports matter for DN80 and larger. If the line vibrates, add supports before and after the meter. The meter body should not carry pipe stress.
Most manufacturing plants use 4-20 mA HART for flow, density, and temperature. Some sites need RS485 Modbus for PLC integration. The transmitter can drive a pulse output for batch totalizer cards. We configure the meter at the factory based on your DCS or PLC brand. If you need a specific register map, tell us before shipment. Remote mount transmitters are available for high vibration areas and tight cabinets.
We need fluid name, flow range in kg/h or tonnes per hour, operating pressure in bar, operating temperature in °C, pipe size in DN, and output type such as 4-20 mA HART or Modbus. If the fluid is viscous, include viscosity in cP. If the area is hazardous, tell us the zone classification.
Yes. We use 316L stainless steel for standard fluids. We use Hastelloy C22 or Alloy 20 for seawater, sulfuric acid, and aggressive chemical lines. For desalination plants we often pair a DN40 to DN80 meter with Hastelloy C22 wetted parts.
Most batch and process lines work well with plus or minus 0.1 percent of rate. Custody transfer and high value chemicals may need plus or minus 0.05 percent of rate. We do not oversell a high accuracy model if a standard model will hold the batch tolerance.
Yes. Silver Automation Instruments can supply Coriolis flowmeter sinks with ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 approvals. Tell us the gas or dust group and temperature class when you request a quote. We also supply remote transmitters for easy wiring in Ex areas.
Standard models ship in 7 to 15 working days depending on size and process connection. Hastelloy and special high pressure versions may need 3 to 4 weeks. We keep common signal boards and PT100 sensors in stock for after-sales support.
