Frequency source Transmitter can produce a user-specified frequency between 0.1 and 15,000 Hz.
  • Page 98 (1991) for surge and EFT. To meet the above specifications, the transmitter must be installed with an approved Micro Motion sensor, and the sensor cable must be either doubly shielded with full contact glands, or installed in continuous, fully bonded metallic conduit. The transmitter and sensor must be directly connected to a low-impedance (less than 1 ohm) earth ground.

  • Page 103: Appendix C Theory Of Operation

    Appendix Theory of Operation The flow tubes of the Coriolis mass flow sensor are driven to vibrate at their natural frequency by a magnet and drive coil attached to the apex of the bent tubes (see Figure C-1). An AC drive control amplifier circuit in the transmitter reinforces the signal from the sensor’s left velocity pickoff coil to generate the drive coil voltage.
  • Page 104 Theory of Operation continued Mass flow measurement The vibrating motion of the flow tube, combined with the momentum of the fluid flowing through the tubes, induces a Coriolis force that causes each flow tube to twist in proportion to the rate of mass flow through the tube during each vibrational cycle.
  • Page 105 The transmitter software contains a simplification of this correlation to maximize sampling frequency of the measurement. Accuracy of the Micro Motion correlation is ±0.0005 g/cc (±0.5 kg/m relative to the API-2540 equation. After temperature correction to 60°F (15°C), the density is converted to °API by the following expression:...
  • Page 106 Theory of Operation continued Pressure compensation A pressure transmitter can be connected to the RFT9739 for pressure compensation. The RFT9739 or an external source can supply power to the pressure transmitter. If the input is configured to indicate gauge pressure, the transmitter uses the pressure input to account for effects of pressure on the flow tubes of certain sensors.
