Coriolis mass flowmeters measure the force resulting from the acceleration caused by mass moving toward (or away from) a center of rotation. The effect can be demonstrated by flowing water in a loop of flexible hose that is “swung” back and forth in front of the body with both hands. Because the water is flowing toward and away from the hands, opposite forces are generated and cause the hose to twist.

In a Coriolis mass flowmeter, the “swinging” is generated by vibrating the tube in which the fluid flows. The amount of twist is proportional to the mass flow rate of fluid passing through the tube. Sensors are used to measure this twist and generate a linear flow signal.
