U-Tubed Coriolis Mass Flow Meters

ALCM-UT

alcmut flow meterIntroducing the ALCM-UT U-Tubed Coriolis mass flow meter from Smart Measurement, a reliable instrument that combines the original U-shaped tube geometry with advanced technology to deliver accurate flow measurement solutions. The U-tube shape was the first design used in Coriolis mass flow meters and has been a trusted choice for many years. While the U-tube design has been largely replaced by the Micro-Bend geometry in the market due to its lower pressure drop, the ALCM-UT remains a valuable solution for specific applications.

The Original U-Tube Design

The U-tube shape was the pioneering design in Coriolis mass flow meters, and it has proven its reliability and performance over the years. The ALCM-UT features two tubes formed into a U-shaped geometry in a parallel arrangement, providing accurate flow measurement for a wide range of applications. Although the U-tube design generally has a higher pressure drop compared to the Micro-Bend geometry, it is still capable of handling higher flow rates, making it suitable for certain industrial processes.

Ideal for Replacing Existing U-Tube Meters

One of the main advantages of the ALCM-UT is its ability to replace existing U-tube Coriolis mass flow meters that have been damaged due to wear and tear. By maintaining the same U-tube geometry, the ALCM-UT allows for a seamless replacement without the need for retrofitting existing piping. This makes it an ideal choice for industries that have already invested in U-tube Coriolis mass flow meters and need to replace them without significant modifications to their infrastructure.

Comprehensive Measurement Capabilities

The ALCM-UT U-Tubed Coriolis mass flow meter is a versatile instrument that can measure:

  • Mass flow
  • Density
  • Temperature
  • Volumetric flow

Additionally, the microprocessor-based circuitry allows for the determination of:

  • Percent concentration
  • Percent water-cut

This all-in-one solution provides accurate and reliable data for a wide range of applications, eliminating the need for multiple instruments and simplifying your measurement process.

Designed for Challenging Conditions

The ALCM-UT is built to handle even the most challenging conditions, with features that include:

  • Suitability for aggressive and contaminated media
  • Excellent purging and sterilization qualities thanks to a construction that is free of dead-spots
  • High rotation frequency and well-balanced measuring tubes
  • Operating temperatures up to 575°F (300°C)

These features ensure that the U-Tubed Coriolis mass flow meter delivers accurate and reliable measurements, even in demanding environments.

Uncompromising Accuracy and Reliability

Every ALCM-UT U-Tubed Coriolis mass flow meter undergoes an individual 8-point calibration process, which includes a NIST-traceable report. This rigorous calibration ensures that your flow meter provides the highest level of accuracy and reliability, giving you confidence in your measurements.
